I cannot imagine why anyone would book a flight on an airline that was personally inaugurated by the No. 2 madman in the world Muammar al-Gaddafi
... because it's cheap, which is a major motivation for many people (look at the success of Ryanair for proof of that) and because it had reasonably good reputation.

(the No. 1 spot is still held by Kim Jong Il)
I disagree, Robert Mugabe would be my vote for No. 1.

I have been to Libya, enjoyed outstanding kindness and hospitality on both a business and professional level, and whilst criticism of some aspects of their society and international politics may well be justifiable, this is not the place for it.
