Benina International Airport. Master plan
THE BACKGROUNDThe rate of growth seen in the Libyan economy and the corresponding growth in its passenger air traffic have encouraged the Libyan government to conduct a series of studies to examine the opportunities for modernising and developing the airports at Benghazi (in the north-east of the country), Sebha (in the south) and Tripoli. The main objective of the master plan studies conducted for Benghazi Airport was to contribute to the economic growth of this region. Benghazi is the second-largest city in Libya.
ADPI was appointed to conduct all master plan studies for Benghazi Airport.
 
THE PROJECTThe master plan study involved four phases: an analysis of the existing installations, an analysis of the airport development strategy guidelines, the definition of installation requirements for the development scenarios adopted and, lastly, the preparation of an overview to address all the changes to be made as part of ensuring consistency with the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority's own development scenario.
At the request of the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority, the master plan development study also addressed the imperatives resulting from the construction of a new passenger terminal with a capacity of 5 million passengers per year, a cargo terminal with an ultimate annual capacity of 75,000 tonnes (with the option to expand capacity to 150,000 tonnes as part of future development projects) and the construction of a new control tower.
The master plan was presented to the highest level of Libyan government in December 2007. This presentation provided the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority with all the information and data required to manage the development project.
