Anyone got some more info on the crash this morning in Tripoli? We had so crew onboard paxing to Tripoli. We were told that they crashed on landing.

BBC are reporting it was an inward flight from Johannesburg. Sadly it sounds like everyone on board has lost their life.

My deepest sympathy to the families and friends of the colleages that we have lost today. A number of aviation companies had staff who were positioning into HLLT. AirQuarius and Global you have my heartfelt sympathy for the ones we lost. They all lived and breathed aviation. RIP my friends and colleagues.
