Medsky Airways

Maximum weight: 7-10 kg

The context in a few words

Among the major airlines flying out of Libye, Medsky Airways is one of the recognized names. You get the standard full-service package: a layered loyalty programme, differentiated cabins, and a carry-on policy designed for long-haul travel.

The published format — , 7-10 kg — matches the broader industry standard. A standard 55×40×20 cabin case clears without issue.

For quick comparison: the IATA reference grid is 56×36×23 cm at 7 kg. Medsky Airways leaves the gauge unclear, with a weight cap of 7-10 kg — that benchmark anticipates cabin allowance. Any bag over by more than a centimetre risks rerouting to the hold.

In practice, the leniency of these heritage carriers comes with extra attention to connections: cabin baggage stays the passenger's responsibility flight-to-flight, and international transfers stack the gate checks.

On personal item: Medsky Airways doesn't always formalize a separate allowance from cabin baggage. At boarding, a small handbag is generally tolerated, but bulky items are best packed in the main suitcase. A visible laptop sleeve may be flagged as a duplicate if the agent is strict.

For business passengers, the grid expands (around 10 kg). It's a classic premium-segment perk, locked in at booking and applied without dispute at the counter.
