Al Abraq International Airport lies in the Jabal al Akhdar region of eastern Libya, serving the city of Bayda from a site well inland from the Mediterranean coast. It is a joint public/military field built around one very long paved runway with an ILS-equipped approach, making it a notable waypoint for VFR pilots exploring eastern Cyrenaica in the simulator.
Al Abraq International Airport, also referred to as Al Bayda International Airport or El Beida International Airport, is a public/military aerodrome serving the city of Bayda in eastern Libya. It sits between Bayda and the small town of Al Abraq, and its combination of a long primary runway with an ILS and a shorter crosswind runway gives it a distinctive profile for a regional Libyan field, of interest to simulator pilots flying in the Cyrenaica area.
The airport is located 16 kilometres east of Bayda, 16 kilometres west of the town of Al Abraq, and about 12 kilometres south of Libya's Mediterranean coastline, placing it inland on the Jabal al Akhdar plateau. Approach control for the area is provided by Benghazi Approach.
The field has two physical runways. The main runway, 10/28, is 11,791 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting, and runway 28 is equipped with an ILS. The secondary runway, 03/21, is 6,214 feet long, also hard-surfaced and lit.
Approach control is provided by Benghazi Approach on 126.5 MHz, with the airport's own tower operating on 118.1 MHz. The Labraq non-directional beacon, identifier LAB, is located on the field, and runway 28 is served by an ILS.
The airport has historically operated as a public and military aerodrome for the Bayda area, and has been served by Libyan carriers including Afriqiyah Airways and Libyan Airlines on routes to Tripoli-Mitiga. The Labraq NDB, sited on the airfield, points to its longer-standing role as a navigation fix for the region even before the current runway layout was established.
Al Abraq continues to operate as a combined public and military airport for the Bayda area, with airline service recorded at the field. No current opening hours, fuel availability or simulator scenery details are documented in the sources reviewed.
