Honestly,

I would not just show up at the airport. I just checked the IATA information, seems like a letter needs to confirm that the visa has already been obtained. I am going to re-apply in the next month or so, so I will update on my success. Here is the text:

that prior arrangements were made with Libyan Immigration
Department to secure entry into Libya.
