No surprise to me...
Why have EK been operating into TIP long after the national carrier and QR stopped flying in long before due to 'security concerns'? To say that TIP is only a turnaround (MLA-TIP-DXB) is a 5hite excuse since what do you do in the event of a tech aircraft? The fact that artillery has landed within the airport perimeter in the past few months, would be fairly compelling in its own right.
If there is a buck to be made then EK will be there and especially so, when there are plenty of wealthy Libyans who are willing to pay to sit in in J and F.
