By David Kaminski-Morrow in Farnborough

Libyan carrier Afriqiyah Airways has signed a memorandum of understanding to acquire up to six Airbus A330-200s as well as up to 14 Airbus A320 family jets.

The Tripoli-based carrier’s agreement, disclosed at the Farnborough air show, covers three A330s plus three options, as well as six A320s and three A319s, with options on another five narrowbodies.

No engine selection for either the widebodies or the narrowbodies has been given.

Afriqiyah told Flight towards the end of last year that it was considering acquiring A330s to operate long-haul services.
