Two pilots have been arrested in Libya following a private jet crash at Misrata International Airport. The aircraft, which was traveling from Istanbul, Turkey, veered off the runway during landing and subsequently caught fire.
Local prosecutors stated that the flight was operating without passengers, as it was intended to transport VIPs from Libya. According to investigators, evidence indicates that both the German captain and the Turkish co-pilot were intoxicated at the time of the incident. A detention order has been issued against both crew members.
The flight crew, which included the captain, the co-pilot, and one flight attendant, escaped the crash without injuries. However, the aircraft sustained significant damage and was largely destroyed by the fire. The incident led to a temporary suspension of operations at the airport.
BKN Jet Aviation, the Turkish company managing the aircraft, has denied the allegations of intoxication. The company stated that it has not yet received any official documentation or medical test results regarding the incident. An investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
