Longest international airport runways of North Africa
Provided below is a list of the longest international airport runways in North Africa. For purposes of this post, North Africa is defined as Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, and Western Sahara.
Cairo International Airport – Source: forum.wordldairports.comDespite the reference to international airports in the post title, some of the airports listed do not have “international” in their name. Similarly, there are some airports with “international” in their name that do not offer flights outside their home nation. This list tries to identify those that actually offer international flights (regardless of their name), which have runway(s) a minimum of 10,000 feet in length.
Peace!
