Sudan: Khartoum International Airport resumes domestic flights after 30-month closure despite recent drone attacks
Drone attacks had threatened Khartoum International Airport’s reopening, but a Badr Airlines plane has now landed, marking the resumption of domestic flights after over two years. The move signals cautious optimism for Sudan’s aviation sector, supporting mobility and economic activity in the war-torn capital, even as underlying security risks from the ongoing conflict between the army and RSF remain a concern.
