It is not certain how long the plane will be able to remain at the airport.
Foreign Secretary William Hague had earlier urged all Britons in Tripoli to go to the airport. Efforts are also continuing to rescue 200-300 British oil workers in remote locations.
A further 70 Britons arrived in Malta in the early hours of Saturday after being taken out of Libya by sea on HMS Cumberland.
They endured a 35-hour journey from the Libyan port of Benghazi on rough seas.
They were among a total of 207 people evacuated from the port by the British naval ship which Mr Hague said would return to Benghazi on Sunday to pick any others wishing to leave. A second warship, HMS York, is also being sent."
