Benina International Airport

Benina International Airport (HLLB) is a medium airport in Benina, BA, Libya. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code HLLB or IATA code BEN. It sits in Africa.

Benina International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Benina International Airport sits near sea level at 433 ft.

Local operations run on Africa/Tripoli. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
