Tripoli International Airport (IATA: TIP, ICAO: HLLT) (Arabic: مطار طرابلس العالمي) is a closed international airport built to serve Tripoli, the capital city of Libya. The airport is located in the area of Qasr bin Ghashir, 24 kilometres (15 mi) from central Tripoli. It used to be the hub for Libyan Airlines, Afriqiyah Airways, and Buraq Air.
The airport has been closed intermittently since 2011 and as of early 2018,[3] flights to and from Tripoli have been using Mitiga International Airport instead.
During the 2014 Libyan Civil War, the airport was heavily damaged in the Battle of Tripoli Airport.[4] The airport reopened for limited commercial use in July 2017.[5] In April 2019, however, it was reported that Mitiga had become the last functioning airport in Tripoli during the 2019–20 Western Libya campaign.[6][7] It was soon acknowledged that the ruling Government of National Accord (GNA) had bombed the airport in order to recapture it from the Libyan National Army (LNA).[8] Mitiga was soon shut down as well after being bombed by the LNA,[7][6] thus making Misrata Airport, located approximately 200 km (125 miles) to the east down the coast, the nearest airport for Tripoli residents.[8]
