Libya's state news agency said 96 bodies had been recovered after the plane crashed at Tripoli International airport. A Dutch tourism official said 61 of 62 Dutch travelers on the plane were killed, with one survivor believed to be a child.
About 100 people are believed to have died in the crash, the president of the European Parliament has said.
The Afriqiyah Airways plane was flying in from Johannesburg, South Africa, when it crashed while attempting to land at the airport in the Libyan capital, an airline spokeswoman said.
She said she could not confirm whether there were any fatalities.
"At the moment we have no details of survivors and Afriqiyah Airways will issue further statements when more details can be released in due course," she said
