Second commercial flight since start of Sudanese war lands at Khartoum airport

## Resumption of Commercial Flights at Khartoum Airport

Resumption of Commercial Flights at Khartoum Airport

A commercial flight landed at Khartoum Airport on Sunday, marking the second such occurrence since the onset of Sudan's civil conflict nearly three years ago. This flight, operated by the national carrier SUDANAIR, originated from Port Sudan, a city on the Red Sea.

The reopening of Khartoum Airport is a significant milestone in the government's plan to restore normalcy in the capital city. The airport had sustained extensive damage amid clashes between the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that began in April 2023. The Sudanese army regained control of the capital last year.

The ongoing war in Sudan has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of lives and the displacement of millions. The conflict has also exacerbated health crises and brought some regions to the brink of famine.
