A timetable of Libyan Arab Airlines from 1982

After the bombing of the Pan Am Boeing 747 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988 by Libyan terrorists, the United Nations imposed sanctions on Libya, similar to those imposed on Iraq. Because of that, for a little more than ten years, the airline was forced to fly only to domestic destinations using old aircraft. After the sanctions were lifted, international commercial aviation contacts with Libya began to be re-established, and at the same time, Libyan Arab Airlines began to re-establish its name in the international market.
