Ghat Airport — Ghat, Libya

Ghat Airport, coded GHT, serves the remote oasis town of Ghat in southwestern Libya, near the borders with Algeria and Niger in the heart of the Sahara. The airport is a critical link for this isolated Saharan community, given the vast desert distances separating Ghat from Libya's coastal cities like Tripoli. Ghat itself sits near the Acacus Mountains, an area known for ancient rock art recognized by UNESCO, making the airport historically relevant to the small stream of adventure tourists who once visited before regional instability curtailed travel. GHT's operations have been affected by Libya's broader political and security challenges over the past decade, limiting regular scheduled service.
