Worth knowing about Khartoum
- Khartoum airport was shut from 15 April 2023. The army retook it on 26 March 2025, domestic flights restarted on 22 October 2025 with a Badr Airlines service from Port Sudan, and the first international arrival since the war began landed on 28 April 2026.
- Drone strikes hit the airport on 21, 22 and 23 October 2025, around the reopening itself, and again on 4 May 2026. The reopening held, but the pattern has not stopped.
- The ICAO code changed from HSSS to HSSK on 4 March 2021. Older flight planning data and some booking systems still carry the retired code.
- As of the UK Foreign Office advice current in September 2026, Khartoum and Port Sudan are both running limited numbers of flights, both have been drone targets, and either could close again at short notice.
