About Kufra Airport
Overview
Kufra Airport serves the southeastern region of Libya, located at coordinates 24.178699, 23.313999 in a remote desert area. As a medium-sized airport with significant runway capacity, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Kufra district at an elevation of 1367 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport's desert location suggests significant potential for temperature variations and potential wind-driven dust conditions. Pilots should anticipate high daytime temperatures and potential thermal turbulence given the airport's elevation and geographical context in an arid environment.
Notable Features
Kufra Airport features two parallel runways, both 02L/20R and 02R/20L, each measuring 12,007 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surfaces. The dual parallel runway configuration provides operational flexibility and redundancy, allowing for simultaneous or alternate runway operations depending on wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
With runways aligned at 02/20 headings, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios typical of desert environments. The substantial 12,007-foot runway lengths provide ample space for most aircraft types, offering considerable landing and takeoff performance margins in the challenging desert terrain.
