About Benina International Airport
Overview
Benina International Airport serves the coastal region of northeastern Libya, located near the city of Benghazi. Situated at an elevation of 433 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport features two parallel asphalt runways, each approximately 11,700 feet in length, capable of supporting substantial commercial and military aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location at coordinates 32.096802, 20.269501 suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, including potential sea breezes and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations typical of Mediterranean coastal environments, with potential wind shifts between runway 15 and runway 33 orientations. Temperature and visibility can vary significantly based on regional atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
Benina International Airport's dual parallel runways (15L/33R and 15R/33L) provide operational flexibility for different wind scenarios and traffic management. The nearly identical runway lengths of 11,732 and 11,731 feet offer substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for medium to large aircraft. The airport's positioning near the Mediterranean coast may introduce unique terrain and wind considerations for approaching and departing aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind conditions, with the 15/33 orientation providing options for different wind angles. The extensive runway lengths (over 11,700 feet) provide significant margin for diverse aircraft performance envelopes. Pilots should prepare for potential coastal meteorological variability and conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during flight planning.
