Information on clashes between armed groups in central Tripoli and the disruption to Mitiga Airport.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office ( FCDO) advise against all travel to Libya. This advice has been in place consistently since 2014. If you’re in Libya against this advice, you should seek to leave immediately by any practical means.

All travel to, from and within Libya is at the traveller’s risk. Local security situations are fragile and can quickly deteriorate into intense fighting and clashes without warning.

Clashes between armed groups in central Tripoli broke out on 14 August. As of 15 August, these are ongoing and causing disruption to air travel from Tripoli’s Mitiga Airport.

Consular support is severely limited in Libya and the British Embassy in Tripoli does not provide consular services. If you are in Libya and need urgent help from the UK government (e.g. if you have been detained) you can contact the British Embassy in Tunis on +216 71 108 700 or. If you are in the UK and are concerned about a British national in Libya, you can call the FCDO in London on +44 (0)20 7008 5000.

If you plan to pass through another country to return to the UK, check the travel advice for the country you’re transiting.
