Contradicting statements to reports of unusable runways and arriving aid flights. Leaves readers questioning what the actual situation is.

Regarding the current situation of Benina Intl. Airport in Benghazi, I'd like to emphasize that RW15R/33L is intact, usable and is open to aid relief flights since 1st.April 2011, no harm has been done to the runway whatsoever during the uprising. RW15L/33R is also intact but unusable due to the fact that the adjacent new terminal is under construction.
