United Libyan Airlines was a Libyan charter airline, headquartered in Benghazi.[1]
History
The company was set up in early 1962 as a Libyan-owned charter airline that initially employed British crews.[2] The airline took delivery of its first aircraft, a British-registered Douglas DC-3 bought from Autair, in March 1962.[3]
United Libyan Airlines was absorbed into Kingdom of Libya Airlines on 2 October 1965.[4]
