Flying in Libya?
Has anyone flown in Libya recently?
I have been looking at contract work for the DHC-8 but there is not much info on the web.
- Getting around etc. is it easy/cheap to buy motorbikes/cars?
- Is there a regular ferry service out of tripoli to mainland europe? (hoping to ride round italy or ski during weeks off)
- Is it simple to cross the border to Tunisia on a UK passport? (as a possible route to a ferry or just as a week off)
Only ever flown in mainland Europe before so any advice for a new Captain to Africa?
Cheers
Chris

Re Lybia
Two company flying DCH8
One is Petro Air and I would not suggest to go due to the fact they relay on a agency Called IBIS which is a fraud. Do not sign any contract with them .
The other one is Medavia.
Those are more serious. They are based in Malta and you can find easly on the web.

Libya
I applied back in Dec through a recruiter out of the UK. Dont have too many details, just been short listed.....whatever that means. Are you going to be able to give me some more information? I know nothing other than its a BE300, Libya. I can only assume it is for Petro.

Ibis? Petroair?
Hello, what is so bad about Petroair? This is the company I had heard about for short term contracts... sound all good on paper, have you worked for them?

I've been offered a contract with IBIS as well. I've done some overseas contracts through reputable companies like PARC, and this contract has some things in it that are non-standard. Read it carefully! It is hard to have any confidence in these guys.
