Tunisia’s flag carrier, Tunisair, will operate two weekly flights to the western coastal Libyan city of Misrata, the company announced on Thursday.The move comes three weeks after Tunisair resumed the Tunis- Sfax-Tripoli line which it now serves three times a week.

Tunisair had suspended its flights to Libya when NATO set up a no-fly zone on the North African country in March 2011.The new flight is meant to help increase economic and trade ties between both countries.
