Gateway to Libya's southern Fezzan desert region.

Location
Sabha, Libya
Sabha Airport (IATA: SEB, ICAO: HLLS) serves Sabha, the largest city in the Fezzan region of southwestern Libya. It functions as a key air hub for a remote desert area, connecting the isolated region to Libya's northern cities and serving administrative, military, and civilian needs. The airport has historically been used by Libyan Arab Airlines and successor carriers operating domestic routes, primarily linking Sabha to Tripoli and Benghazi. Its strategic location in the Sahara has also given it military significance over the decades. Operations at Sabha Airport have been periodically disrupted by the political instability and armed conflict that has affected Libya since the 2011 civil war, limiting commercial services and infrastructure development.
Terminals
The airport has a basic terminal building designed for modest domestic passenger volumes typical of a regional Libyan facility.
Getting to & from
Ground transport into Sabha city is primarily by private vehicle or taxi, with no formal public transit system connecting the airport to the city center.
Airlines here
Libyan carriers including Libyan Airlines and Afriqiyah Airways have historically operated routes through Sabha on domestic services.
