Sudan’s junta-led Civil Aviation Authority has announced that Khartoum International Airport will reopen for domestic flights on Wednesday.
The airport has been closed for 30 months due to the ongoing conflict between the General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces.
The resumption of flights will follow approved technical and operational procedures at the airport.
Authorities confirmed the airport is ready to gradually receive flights after completing necessary technical and operational arrangements, the agency added.
This marks the first time Khartoum International Airport has resumed operations in over two and a half years amid violent conflict.
The army and RSF have been fighting since April 2023, leaving more than 20,000 people dead and 14 million displaced, according to UN estimates.
Research by US universities, however, suggests the death toll may be closer to 130,000, highlighting the devastating scale of the war.
