The 4th Libya Aviation Forum & Expo takes place 3-4 November in Tripoli, focusing on modernising the nation’s aviation sector. According to the Libya Herald Post-Forum Report, the previous forum in Tripoli held in 2024 hosted over 350 delegates, 20 exhibitors, 1,000 trade visitors, and 12 speakers, with international delegations from 10 countries.
Co-organised by Hormuz Tours & Events and Tifan Ltd under the patronage of the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority (LYCAA), event organisers confirmed they will “continue to build a dynamic platform to discuss the latest developments in aviation, explore avenues for cooperation and investment, and showcase promising opportunities in this vital sector”.
This year’s programme showcases a cross-section of Arab and MENA stakeholders.
Local Operators Lead the Expo
Medsky Airways leads commercial representation as the Diamond Sponsor, with Air Libya serving as the Silver Sponsor. The nation’s flag carrier, Libyan Airlines, will be present at Stand #020.
Aerodrome and ground support operations are also represented on the exhibition floor. Al Kayan for Handling will outline specialised ramp equipment solutions at Stand #007, while Assadafa Aviation Services will showcase the Bronze Sponsor’s domestic MRO logistics, rotable management, and AeroShell distribution capabilities.
Developing certified local talent is a key focus. At Stand #004, the Technical College of Civil Aviation & Meteorology (TCCAM) will showcase how it is aligning higher technical education with global standards.
Reintegrating Global Airspace
Beyond domestic operations, Libya is rapidly reintegrating into the global airspace network.
In September 2026, Libya opened a new Air Traffic Management Centre in Tripoli to improve air navigation and surveillance services. This builds on the ongoing 2024 agreement with Indra to modernise radar and air traffic control infrastructure.
Together, these infrastructure investments highlight a transformative phase for Libyan commercial aviation.
