Afriqiyah Airways (8U, Tripoli Mitiga) and Libyan Airlines (LN, Tripoli Mitiga) have been told to stop operating to the European Union until November 22 by the Libyan government to prevent the country from being blacklisted due to a lack of safety oversight. Libyan Airlines already wet-leases an A320-200 from Nouvelair (BJ, Monastir) and it is expected that this aircraft or additional aircraft wet-leased from other countries will be used by the two carriers to operate to Europe. Afriqiyah and Libyan had planned to merge prior to the revolution but no further plans have recently been published.
