๐ธ๐ฉ Khartoum, Sudan
Khartoum International Airport serves as Sudan's capital primary gateway, though operations have been severely impacted by ongoing civil conflict. The airport was closed from April 2023 to March 2025 due to fighting between military forces and RSF, with approximately 20 aircraft destroyed during initial attacks. The Sudanese army recaptured the facility in March 2025, and domestic flights resumed in October 2025, though international services remain limited. The single terminal facility, which previously handled over 3.5 million passengers in 2017, features basic amenities with limited dining, no WiFi, and modest services compared to regional airports. Current operations require extensive security protocols and immigration checks even for domestic transfers. International airspace warnings remain active due to military activity and anti-aircraft weaponry risks. A new Khartoum International Airport is planned 40km south in Omdourman, featuring dual 4,000m runways and an 86,000mยฒ terminal, though development is indefinitely delayed by ongoing conflict.
