## Description

Libyan Airlines, Afriqiyah Airways, Buraq Air and Berniq Airways are the names on the departure board at Al Abraq International (LAQ/HLLQ), the airport serving Bayda and the Jebel Akhdar region of eastern Libya. Traffic is thin — roughly three flights a week, more than 90 percent of them domestic — and the field sits 16 km east of Bayda, about 12 km inland from the Mediterranean coast. Runways, taxiways and aprons are asphalt, but there is no airfield lighting, so night operations are not possible, which alone rules out most time-critical air cargo planning. No dedicated freight terminal exists, and what little air cargo moves here travels as belly load on passenger services. Importers supplying eastern Libya normally receive and clear air freight at Benghazi Benina (BEN), about 200 km west, then truck it along the coastal road. For humanitarian and project cargo, Logistics Cluster assessments treat Al Abraq mainly as a passenger and contingency field rather than a freight station.
