Key facts
Daylight in Misratah runs from about 10 h 4 min a day in late December to 14 h 19 min in late June (computed for 32.38° latitude), which matters more than the forecast when a day is built around one flight or one crossing.
Getting there
No airport with scheduled passenger service sits within 100 km of Misratah in the OurAirports register, so flying in means a longer transfer from the nearest served city.
