Libya plans to develop oil field airports into civilian airports

The Libyan Airports Authority has completed the evaluation of Ras Lanuf and Marsa Brega oil airports, aiming to convert them into civilian airports.

This initiative is part of a broader plan to develop oil field airports to serve local residents.

The assessment team inspected facilities and equipment at both airports to identify necessary upgrades for civilian use. The transformation is expected to enhance local development, create job opportunities, and improve public services. The Airports Authority emphasized the strategic importance of these airports for the oil and gas industry and local communities, and plans to continue evaluating other oil field airports for similar conversions.
