๐ข Terminal Information
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.

๐ข Terminal Information
Atbara Airport (ATB) serves the city of Atbara in northern Sudan, a strategic location at the confluence of the Nile and Atbara rivers. This regional airfield primarily supports local air transport needs, including government flights, humanitarian aid missions, and general aviation. It does not currently host scheduled commercial passenger services, with most civilian air travel in Sudan severely impacted by ongoing conflicts. The airport's infrastructure is basic, typically consisting of a paved runway and a modest building that functions as an administrative office and a rudimentary waiting area.\n\nOperational procedures at ATB are informal and adapted to the prevailing security and operational environment. There are no extensive security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or commercial check-in counters. Passengers for charter or specific flights are usually processed manually by local authorities or flight operators. Security is handled by local military or police forces. Given the current situation in Sudan, any air travel is highly restricted and requires specific permissions, with operations often prioritizing essential services.\n\nAmenities at Atbara Airport are virtually non-existent for the general public. Travelers should expect no shops, restaurants, or currency exchange facilities. The climate in Atbara is extremely hot and dry for much of the year, and there is minimal shelter or air conditioning. It is imperative for anyone traveling through ATB to carry all necessary provisions, including water, and to have all ground transportation pre-arranged. The airport functions as a bare-bones operational point rather than a comfortable travel hub.
