A European aircraft flight tracking website has revealed an increased number of cargo flights from Turkey to western Libya.
Three military aircraft (Airbus A400M) landed in al-Watiya Air Base coming from Konya, according to Flightradar24, a Swedish internet-based service that shows real-time commercial aircraft flight tracking information on a map.
A Falcon 900DX affiliated with the Government of National Accord (GNA) took off from Tripoli's Mitiga airport to Turkey.
A Turkish military analyst said that a number of advanced Turkish attack helicopters were moved to al-Watiya base, adding that preparations are underway to transport six F-16.
Itamilradar, a website on military aircraft tracking in Italy and the Mediterranean, disclosed on Thursday movements of Turkish military transport aircraft above the central and eastern Mediterranean towards Libya.
The website noted that it tracked two Turkish Air Force flights between Misrata and Turkey, revealing that Ankara was still supplying the GNA with military support in spite of an agreement between rival factions for such activity to stop.
