The Khartoum International Airport welcomed its first scheduled commercial flight since the onset of Sudan's civil war nearly three years ago. The Sudan Airways flight, which traveled from the Red Sea city of Port Sudan, symbolized a significant milestone in the nation’s ongoing recovery efforts. The celebratory atmosphere was reported as passengers arrived at the airport, which authorities now plan to utilize for up to four flights daily, indicating a phased reopening of air travel across the region, according to Al Jazeera and Anadolu Agency.

The resumption of flights is seen as a vital step towards normalizing life in Khartoum, with officials emphasizing the importance of re-establishing air connections within Sudan. The Sudanese Civil Aviation Authority had previously announced intentions to reopen the airport despite facing multiple drone attacks on the facility, with efforts mobilized to ensure passenger safety and rigorous flight operations, reported Africa News and Anadolu Agency.
