TRIPOLI, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Libya's Misurata International Airport, 200 km east of the capital Tripoli, on Thursday resumed work after being closed by protesting workers a few days ago, according to a local source.
"Misurata International Airport resumed flights to and from the airport following the end of the strike carried out by the ground services workers," Libyan Airways spokesman Mohamed Gnewa told Xinhua.
The airport began to receive scheduled flights normally, Gnewa said.
Protesting workers of the airport's ground services closed the air hub on Sunday until further notice, due to delayed payment of their salaries for more than a year and a half, according to a local official.
The workers of the ground handing company carried out sit-ins in November 2016 and last September. They were promised to pay their salaries in return for the end of the sit-in, but no payment was made so far.
