LDC 2009 charters Airbus in cooperation with Afriqiyah Airlines


Due to the high number of participants, press, VIP’s and staff that will be joining the Libya Desert Challenge in March, the rally organisation & its Libyan partner Fessano Tours, have negotiated a deal with the Libyan airline company Afriqiyah Airways to charter their own plane. The majority of clients will arrive from destinations all over Europe, approximately at the same time, on 2nd March.
With the provision of this chartered service participants will literally get off one aircraft and onto another for the one hour flight south to Sebha where the rally will kick off. To make this even easier for participants we have agreed with Sebha airport and the Libyan authorities to host our first bivouac in the airport grounds, minimising travel time and hassle for everyone.
For the return journey on the 11th March, our private plane will bring everybody together from Sebha to Tripoli, 2 hours before the connection flights to Europe. The rally ends on the 10th, and on the 11th at noon, everybody’s back home. http://www.afriqiyah99.eu/
