Kufra Airport
Kufra Airport, serving the oasis town of Kufra in southeastern Libya deep in the Sahara, features two runways, 1,367 feet above sea level, unusually well-equipped given how remote this part of the country is from Libya's coastal cities. Al Kufrah District sits near Libya's borders with Chad, Sudan, and Egypt, making the airport a strategically positioned link across this stretch of desert. One of the only practical fast connections out of this isolated oasis region runs from here to Tripoli and Benghazi on the Mediterranean coast.
