Tripoli International Airport had one main passenger terminal that served international and domestic departures and arrivals. The terminal hall was a five-story building with an area of 33,000 square meters (360,000 sq ft) and was capable of handling three million passengers annually. Check-in facilities were all located on the ground floor. The departure gates were located on the floor above as was the duty-free section. Beside this was a prayer room and a first-class lounge which served business class and above on almost all airlines operating from the airport. Seen on google maps, the entire passenger terminal is demolished, however the jet ways can still be seen sitting in the position relative to their formal gates. 

The airport operated 24 hours a day. There was no overnight accommodation at the airport but there were plans to build an airport hotel to serve transit flyers. A restaurant was on the fourth floor of the international terminal. The head office of the Libyan Civil Aviation Authority was on the airport property. 

  The airport's cargo-handling facilities include cranes, heavy forklifts, roller pallet lifts, and conveyor belts. There was twenty-four-hour fire protection at the airport with 112 trained personnel working at the fire station. “Source from Wikipedia”
