Buraq Air, Libya’s first private airline, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the purchase of 10 A320neo Family aircraft, marking its entry as a new
Airbus customer. The agreement was concluded at the
Dubai Airshow by Fouzi Almiqalh, general assembly president of Buraq Air, and Benoit de Saint Exupery, Airbus executive vice president sales (Commercial Aircraft business).
Mr Almiqalh said: “This agreement represents a significant step forward for Buraq Air as we continue to modernise our fleet and serve more destinations. The A320neo’s efficiency and flexibility will not only be central to strengthening our core network but will also provide a seamless platform for Medsky Airways, our key strategic partner, to jointly enhance passenger offering across both our carriers.”
Mr de Saint Exupery added: “This agreement reinforces the A320neo as the aircraft of choice for fleet modernisation and we are dedicated to supporting Buraq Air’s strategic expansion plan.”
The A320 Family remains the world’s most popular single-aisle aircraft, with more than 19,000 orders globally. The largest member of the family, the A321neo, offers exceptional range and performance. Operators benefit from at least 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reductions compared to previous-generation single-aisle aircraft, while passengers enjoy one of the widest cabins in the segment.
All Airbus aircraft can currently operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and the manufacturer is targeting 100% SAF capability by 2030. At the end of October 2025, the A320neo Family had secured over 11,300 orders from 150 customers worldwide.
