Good news for an airline we have had close ties with over the years as European sanctions against Libyan Airlines have just been lifted following the recent political developments in Libya. The lifting of the ban which started on March 02nd 2011 will allow Libyan Airlines to restart flights into Europe - and we hope London. As yet, the sister company of Libyan Airlines, Afriqiyah has not been given the go-ahead but we believe that his is just a matter of time although what serviceable aircraft remain across the fleets of the two airlines is as yet unclear. The role of these two airlines is going to be important in the establishment of the new Libyan regime and Alternative Airlines will keep you informed as to the progress of the re-launch of services.
