Future Plans

A new terminal with a capacity of 5 million passengers will be developed north of the existing runway at Benina International under a LD720 million first-stage contract awarded to Canada's SNC-Lavalin. The final cost is estimated at LD1.1 billion. As with Tripoli International Airport, the new terminal was designed by Aéroports de Paris Engineering. Preliminary work and site preparation has started, but it remains unclear when the terminal will be open for operation.(May 20, 2008), Endres, Gunter, [http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2008/05/20/223823/libya-to-restructure-air-transport-sector.html Libya to restructure air transport sector] , "FlightGlobal", Accessed May 20, 2008]
