Location

Kufra, Libya

Kufra Airport (IATA: AKF, ICAO: HLKF) is a small regional airport serving the remote Kufra oasis in the southeastern corner of Libya, near the borders with Sudan and Chad. The airport provides a critical air link for the isolated Kufra District, which is largely surrounded by the Sahara Desert and has limited road connections to the rest of Libya. The facility primarily handles domestic flights and occasional charter or military operations, reflecting the sparse population and strategic location of the region. Given its remote position, commercial service has historically been limited and subject to the political and security conditions affecting Libya.

Terminals

The airport has a basic, small terminal structure consistent with its role as a remote regional facility with low passenger volumes.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options are minimal, with road connections to the town of Kufra being the primary means of travel from the airport.

Airlines here

Libyan airlines operating domestic routes have historically served Kufra, though scheduled service has been intermittent due to the country's ongoing instability.
