history

The subsidiary of Libyan Airlines was founded in 1979 under the name Jamahiria Air Transport . It was the first company outside of the former Soviet Union to use an Antonov An-124 . In contrast to the fleet of its parent company, which mainly consists of modern Airbus aircraft , the Libyan Air Cargo fleet consists primarily of transport machines of Soviet design.
