Remote desert airstrip serving Libya's eastern oil fields.

Location
Nafurah, Libya
Nafurah 1 Airport is a small, purpose-built airstrip located in the Nafurah oil field area of eastern Libya, in the Sirte Basin region. It primarily serves the operational needs of the petroleum industry, providing access for oil workers, equipment, and supply flights rather than commercial passenger traffic. The airport operates under the ICAO designator HLNR and IATA code NFR. Its infrastructure is modest, reflecting its function as an industrial support facility rather than a public commercial airport. Access to the surrounding area is heavily tied to the oil and gas sector that dominates the local economy. Given its remote desert location and specialized industrial purpose, the airport sees limited and largely private or charter traffic. Public information about its operational details remains sparse.
