Libya air traffic controller strike snarls travel
TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's air traffic controllers staged a strike on Tuesday that affected flights in the capital and other cities, forcing one passenger plane to be diverted shortly before landing, aviation officials said.
-------
Air traffic controllers walked off their jobs on Tuesday morning because they were unhappy about the appointment of new management, an aviation source said.
The strike affected airports in the capital Tripoli, the eastern city of Benghazi, and Sabha in the south. It was not clear how many flights overall were affected, but several international airlines fly into Libya daily.
-------
After negotiations with management, the workers agreed to go back to work, he said.
