Correction and apology regarding the planned new state carrier and the privately-owned Libyan United Airlines

In an article dated 6 November 2026 titled ‘‘Libya and Boeing discuss HR development for the country’s new Libyan United Airlines’’ and an article dated 2 October titled ‘‘Tripoli government reviews progress of partnership with Boeing and project to launch a new airliner’’ Libya Herald erroneously stated that the Aldabaiba government’s newly planned state carrier is the same as Libyan United Airlines.

This is incorrect. There is no connection between the Aldabaiba government’s planned new state airliner and the planned launch of the new privately-owned Libyan United Airlines (LUA).

Libya Herald apologises for making this erroneous connection between the two airlines.

Libya United Airlines confirmed to Libya Herald today that ‘‘We would like to respectfully clarify that Libyan United Airlines (LUA) is a privately established airline project and is not affiliated with, owned by, or operating under any government committee or government-led initiative related to the establishment of a new national or flag carrier.

The (mentioned) articles appear to associate the government’s discussions with Boeing and the proposed government aviation initiative directly with Libyan United Airlines. There is no official basis linking our company to these discussions or projects.

As these publications may unintentionally create confusion among industry stakeholders, business partners, suppliers, potential employees, and the travelling public, we kindly request that Libya Herald review the information presented and, where appropriate, issue a clarification or correction distinguishing Libyan United Airlines from any government-sponsored airline initiative’’.
