Hallo!
Does Lybian Airlines (fomer Lybian Arab Airways) still operate FK-28 aircraft(s). They still haven them in the fleetlist, but I cannot find any citypairs in AMADEUS where the schedule still has the FK-28 as regular aircraft. So I was wondering if they were still in use or not? If yes, can someone possibly provide me with the routes they still use the FK-28?
Thank you for your help and best regards from Munich, Germany,
Mike

The last FK-28 operated by Lybian Arab Airline is a F28-4000, registered 5A-DLV.
It used the fly from TIP to MLA, where it was regularly seen until the very last days of the year 2004.
Don't know if it is still in service today, but I doubt.

Thank you so far? However, are there any more current informations about the FK-28? The new JP still lists 4 FK-28 as operating for LN. And also, does LN really still operate flights with BAC 1-11 5A-DDQ (according to the new JP, it is still in their fleet and not marked as "stored")?

Hi Mfz,
answering your post, I must to comment that F-28 equipment is still in the LN fleet operating oil and gas flights on behalf companies making some business in the country.
Is easy to see them at Sebha, Marsa Brega and Ghadames. Flights are non-scheduled and are not available in GDS system.
If your dream is to fly in a F28, go to Dakar and book a flight to ABJ or OUA with 2J and VU airlines.
Regards,
Gerard

Because of the Lockerbie terror act in 1986 anything Libyan hasn't been welcome at most places. These planes haven't flown many hours during the last 21 years.
Also, they have been embargoed from renewing the fleet.
That's one very expensive way to salvage real museum stuff.
Always keep your number of landings equal to your number of take-offs, Preben Norholm

I think a lot of these restrictions have been lifted now??? Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't a deal done in return for the handover of the people responsible for Lockerbie???

LN seem to lease a range of aircraft as well as having their own. On their flights to MAN (2/week), July has seen

Yes the UN embargo was lifted in 2003. The embargo wasn't only prompted by the Pan Am bombing over Lockerbie, but also a few other terrorist actions blamed on Libya, mainly the bombing of the UTA DC-10-30 over Niger in 1989 that killed all 170 on board.
The USA reestablished full diplomatic relations with Libya sometime last year.
