EgyptAir resumes flights to junta’s Port Sudan after long hiatus

EgyptAir announced the resumption of its regular flights to Port Sudan Airport starting from August 4, 2026.

This pivotal return marks the end of a long, fifteen-month hiatus caused by severe operational and security challenges.

The airline originally suspended its route in May 2025 following sudden drone attacks that paralyzed the regional airport.

Five weekly flights will now bridge Cairo and Port Sudan, breathing new life into vital travel corridors.

The decision signals a gradual recovery for Sudanese civil aviation as dynamic companies complete strict security requirements.

This renewed aerial bridge promises to actively support passenger traffic, international trade, and crucial official delegations.

Enhanced connectivity through Cairo International Airport will open fresh doors for global travelers seeking to reach Sudan.
