The US$1.3bn Benghazi International Airport project, part of Libya’s Vision 2030, is slated for completion in 2026. Described as one of Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure developments, the airport is being delivered by Libya’s National Development Agency in partnership with Global Builders Company (NDA).
Covering 24km2, the facility has been designed to handle 15 million passengers annually, with infrastructure capable of accommodating the world’s largest aircraft, the Airbus A380. The new terminal will span 125,000m2, supported by a VIP terminal, cargo hub, as well as a 3.8-km runway, said to be the longest in North Africa.
Conceptualized by NRY Architects, the airport’s sweeping rooflines are intended to evoke the form of Libya’s deserts and the flow of the Mediterranean.
