Tripoli, 9 January 2014:
Afriqiyah Airways took delivery of its fourth new Airbus A330-200 today at a . . .[restrict]Mitiga airport ceremony. The airliner, powered by two General Electric motors, can carry two hundred passengers in economy and 30 in business class. It has a range of 12,500 kilometres.
Though Afriqiyah continues to augment its fleet with brand new aircraft, it remains banned, with all other Libyan carriers, including Libyan Airlines, from EU airspace, because of the failure of the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority to establish proper, international recognised certification programmes for Libyan aircraft.
