Buraq Air (UZ, Tripoli Mitiga) has temporarily suspended operations after four of its flight crew - three Kyrgyz from S Group International (Bishkek) and one Frenchmen - were killed when terrorists stormed the luxury Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli last week.

Islamic jihadists claimed responsibility for the attack which also killed an American, two Filipinas, a South Korean, and four Libyans.

S Group's Airbus A320-200, EX-32004 (c/n 357) was ferried to Amman Queen Alia after the attack. S Group International was operating the aircraft on a wet-lease basis from Mitiga to Alexandria Borg el Arab and Istanbul Atatürk.

Buraq says it will resume operations later this week.
