BURAQ AIR

The young private Libyan company El-Buraq currently offers between 2 and 4 daily flights from Tripoli to Benghazi (flight duration 1 hour 10, 72,5 DL price 120 single and DL return). It also offers a weekly flight from Tripoli to Sebha (1 hour flight, departure at 20 h 30). Flights and schedules of flights based on seasons can be done on the company's website, as well as reservations, but the latter service is sometimes unavailable. Two years ago, the flights of Buraq were known for their punctuality, which is no longer the case. The company has good airplanes, but it can sometimes happen that it uses airplanes from a charter company.

Previously, the departure of Buraq aircraft was carried out at Mitiga International Airport. They now depart from the new national terminal located next to Tripoli International airport. However, it would appear that during the important work that is going to be carried out by the latter, Buraq flights can leave Mitiga Airport: Check with a Buraq agency.

If you have to go to this airport (about 8 km from the city centre, opposite the corniche on the road to Tajoura), please tell your taxi (in Arabic «Matar El-Mitiga»), otherwise it would lead you to the other airport («Matar Trablous el-Alami»).
