The runway length does not include 198 metres (650 ft) paved overruns on each end.

1025 Squadron operated Mig-25PDs at the Al Jufra-Hun Airbase for defense of the north coast.

TU-22, G.222, and An-26 were based at Jufra, parked on open pavement, sand berm shielded pads, and in aircraft shelters.

The airbase was bombed on 24 March 2011 by French aircraft, in accordance with the UN-backed enforcement of the No-Fly Zone over Libya.
