Sebha International Airport is an airport in Sabha, southern Libya - (IATA: SEB, ICAO: HLLS). As of 17 July 2014 all flights to the airport were suspended due to fighting in the area.[1]
Plans
The airport underwent expansion in the 1970s to make it into an international airport.[2] A LD600 million contract has been signed (May 20, 2008) with a joint venture comprising Lebanon's CCC and a new Libyan investment and development company for a new passenger terminal at Sabha Airport. It will have a capacity of 3 million passengers, and, like the new terminals at Tripoli International and Benina International, will be designed by Aéroports de Paris Engineering.[3]
