About Sirt International Airport / Ghardabiya Airbase
Overview
Sirt International Airport, located in Sirt, Libya, serves as a medium-sized airport with significant strategic importance. Situated at 31.063499, 16.594999 with an elevation of 267 feet MSL, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional aviation operations. The facility includes two substantial asphalted runways, each 11,807 feet in length, capable of supporting a wide range of aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Libya's coastal Mediterranean climate influences the airport's meteorological conditions, with potential for significant temperature and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal effects due to the airport's relatively low elevation and proximity to coastal regions. The dual runway configuration (13/31 and 18/36) offers operational flexibility in managing crosswind and wind direction changes.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position near the Mediterranean coast presents unique terrain considerations for aviators. With two parallel runways of identical length, the airport provides robust operational capacity and redundancy. The substantial 11,807-foot runway lengths accommodate large aircraft and provide generous landing/takeoff margins.
Approach Considerations
Approach procedures should carefully consider the airport's dual runway configuration and potential regional wind patterns. The 13/31 and 18/36 runways offer multiple orientation options for landing and departure. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during flight planning, leveraging the airport's comprehensive runway infrastructure.
