Sudan AirwaysSD

Sudan Airways (SD/SUD) is Sudan's national flag carrier and the primary international airline serving the country. Established in 1946, Sudan Airways has a long history as Sudan's primary link to the international aviation network. The airline is headquartered in Khartoum and operates from Khartoum International Airport (KRT), Sudan's largest and busiest airport.

OPERATIONAL STATUS: SEVERELY DISRUPTED

Sudan Airways has faced severe disruption since April 2023 due to the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan. International flight operations have been suspended, and the airline's fleet has been largely grounded. Travelers should not rely on Sudan Airways for current bookings. The airline's website and contact information may not be reliably accessible.

EU Air Safety List: Sudan Airways is subject to EU air safety restrictions due to the conflict's impact on aviation operations and maintenance standards.

NOTE: Baggage information below reflects historical policies from before the 2023 conflict disruption. Current operational status is severely limited, and these policies may not be applicable. Always verify current policies directly with the airline if any flights become available.
