Abstract

The development of air traffic between Britain and Libya is described, from its origins after World War II to the present day. Several key stages are analysed, notably the Air Services Agreements of 1953 and 1972. The changing terms of Anglo-Libyan air links reflect the broader political shifts of a period which has seen Libya transformed from a colonial territory to a prosperous independent nation state. In spite of the current hiatus in air traffic between Britain and Libya, the close links between Libyan aviation and Britain give hope for the future.
