LIBYA is to propose that the Arab world unifies it airspace when the Arab League’s council of ministers meets in Cairo in September, a League official said on Thursday. The plan aims to avoid air embargoes being placed on Arab countries, the same source said. “An embargo against one country would be seen as an embargo against the whole of the Arab world. In that case, the Arabs would not be obliged to respect it,” the source added. The proposal, which also moots the establishment of a single Arab airline, risks being blocked by Gulf states concerned about the continuing embargo slapped on Iraq after its August 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Sanctions were imposed on Libya in 1992 and were only lifted in April when Tripoli handed over to a Scottish court in the Netherlands two Libyans suspected of the 1988 Lockerbie plane bombing which killed 270 people.
