Hi,

Can anyone tell me is Benghazi Airport open ? & which airlines (if any) are flying there ? - from ? .. I've read on the web Turkish & Egyptian (Istanbul & Cairo)

Visa situation - what are the requirements now ?

Looking forward to getting back out there soon & meeting up again with my Libyan colleagues, I hope & pray (inshallah)... that you're all safe & well.

Also on helping Libya get back on her feet & taking her rightful place in the free world.

Well done Libya .. The world salutes you & what you have achieved - push forward now, work together - steady yourselves & find the stability, peace & freedom that you deserve & make sure that those that have paid the ultimate price have passed on their precious gift to your children. Honour them.

Never forget the fallen.

Benghazi's airport is in fact working. Aside from domestic flights the only airlines currently flying there are Turkish and Jordanian (daily) and Tunis Air (twice a week). Egyptair announced back in September that they'd restart their flights by October 10, but it looks like it'll be a while before they actually do.

As far as visas are concerned, sorry but I cant really help you there because I hold a Libyan passport.
I remember reading a post here a few weeks back by someone who flew in with RJ. He claimed that not having a visa wasn't a problem because there were no immigration officials at the airport, just a single guy putting entry stamps in people's passports. That either was never or is no longer the case. I flew into Benghazi last week on turkish airlines and boarding the flight at Istanbul they checked every single person to make sure they either had a visa or were a Libyan national. Two or three people weren't allowed to board and the Turkish airlines people were absolutely adamant that the authorities in Libya wouldn't let anyone in without a visa. Long story short, make sure you get a visa.
