Benina International Airport. Passenger terminal
THE BACKGROUNDThe rate of development of the country and the growth in its air traffic have encouraged the Libyan government to modernise the North African gateway and the Arab-African area with the construction of airports at Benghazi (in the extreme north-east of the country), Sebha (in the south) and the Tripoli Hub. ADPI is providing design services for the Benghazi International Airport development, where the new facilities are due to be available to passengers by mid-2012.
THE PROJECTThe design work for Benghazi focuses on the construction of a new passenger terminal, a new taxiway, aircraft stands and a new access road on the landside of the airport.
Of the three concepts initially proposed for the passenger terminal, the Libyan authorities have adopted the one inspired by the spread wings of a swallow. The facades of glass and sleek metal roof give the new terminal a feeling of lightness and energy that reflects the enthusiasm of Libya to embrace the modern world.
The composition of the building can be broken down into three distinct sections: the central body and the two wings. The central body contains the main terminal functions on two levels (arrivals and departures), whilst the two large wings contain the passenger facilities.
On the landside of the wings, terraced landscaping adds to the feeling of real passenger comfort. On the airside, extensive glazing provides a panoramic view of airport activity.
SERVICES PROVIDEDADPI is providing the scheduling, planning and design services for this terminal.
