Benghazi Skydive — Dropzone & Airfield

Specialized aviation engineering — building North Africa’s premier civilian parachuting facility.

Location Benghazi, Libya

Category Sports & Leisure

Primary Scope Aviation Pavements, Aircraft Hangars, Packing Bays & Terminal Facilities

Project Overview

Strict FAA/ICAO alignment for landing dropzones, aircraft taxiways, and aeronautical training suites.

A purpose-built skydiving dropzone and light aviation center featuring certified aircraft aprons, pilot briefings, parachute preparation halls, student training academies, and spectator observation zones.

Aviation projects demand uncompromising precision. MERAAS engineered the heavy-duty reinforced aircraft apron, smooth asphalt taxiways, high-clearance steel aircraft hangars, and the central dropzone target area with specialized soft-landing turf and drainage.

The project supports international sporting events and pilot training, establishing eastern Libya on the regional map for aeronautical and extreme sports tourism.
