International & Internal Flights & Schedules
 |
International Flights:
Air Malta, British Airways and Lufthansa
all fly direct to Tripoli. You can also fly to Djerba in Tunisia and
then continue your journey over land. If you have arranged to arrive via the Tunisian or Egyptian border, then our guide will meet you at the
border to complete all the paper work for you and escort you safely into the country, using our own private transport. You can also
take the boat from Malta or Italy to Tripoli or Tunis, and experience a lifetime
trip across the Mediterranean.
Tripoli International Airport:
Tripoli International Airport (TIP)
is located in the district of Ben Ghashir,
about 34km south of the capital's city
centre. The airport is run by the Libyan
Civil Aviation and Meteorology Bureau,
and handles about 1.5 million passengers
a year. Visitors are allowed
to bring 200 cigarettes or 250g of cigars or 250g of tobacco, and 250ml
of perfume. The following products are in the prohibited items list and
therefore are not allowed into the country: Israeli products, alcohol,
drugs, pork products, preserved meat and obscene literature.

Tripoli International Airport
There are two main sections of
the airport: international flights operate
from the International Passenger Terminal,
while internal flights depart from the
National Terminal. However, if you are
intending to do a bit of internal flying,
then be prepared for a different kind
of experience: learn a bit of Arabic
or let your guide do the translation
as most signs in the airports are in Arabic; flight
information boards seem to like being
blank.

|
 |
|
Internal Routes:
- Tripoli - Sabha
- Sabha - Tripoli
- Tripoli - Benghazi
- Benghazi - Tripoli
- Tripoli - Ghat.
- Tripoli - Ghadames.
- Tripoli - Alkufra
Flying Time:
All internal flights between the three major airports of Tripoli, Benghazi and Sabha take between one hour and one hour and fifteen minutes; on average we say 1 hour.
Price of Internal Flight Tickets in Libya:
Prices differ from company to company. For example a single ticket from Tripoli to Sabha can cost either 60.5 LYD, 65 LYD or 70 LYD.
- 60, 65 or 70 Libyan Dinars (depending on company) single trip between Tripoli and either Benghazi or Sabha.
- 120, 130 or 140 Libyan Dinars return trip between Tripoli and either Benghazi or Sabha.
- 44 Libyan Dinars one way from Tripoli to Ghadames, and 88 LYD return.
Departure & arrival times of the main flights between the major local airports:
The published times for domestic flights between Tripoli and Benghazi, and Tripoli and Sabha, change from time to time, and therefore the times you see now may change at any times. The major airliners publish their timetables once a month (on average) and therefore it is most often difficult to be certain of your departure time (or even day) more than one month in advance. Please always check the latest flight times with the airliner in question.
