Ghadames Airport guide

Ghadames Airport (ICAO HLTD) serves Ghadames, an oasis town in the far west of Libya near the borders with Algeria and Tunisia. The airfield sits at 342 m above sea level in the Sahara, about 19.5 km east of the town.

It has a single asphalt runway, 06/24, which is 3,600 m long. That length is far more than the small scheduled traffic needs, and it reflects the airfield's dual role. The Libyan Air Force operates the field, and the Libyan National Army owns it. Civilian flights share the site with military use.

Libyan Airlines is the only carrier listed for scheduled service, with flights to Tripoli-Mitiga. Published sources give no passenger or aircraft movement statistics for the airport, and the schedule is lightly documented, so travellers should confirm flights with the airline before planning a trip.

Ghadames Air Transport, a separate Libyan carrier, has the town's name but is based at Mitiga in Tripoli. Public sources do not show it serving this airport.
