Flight resumption, routes and promotional strategy<\/h2>\n

The airline said it would offer promotional fares to rebuild passenger confidence, with one-way tickets from Port Sudan to\u00a0Jeddah<\/a>, Saudi Arabia, scheduled on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, priced at 800,000 Sudanese pounds (about $1330) and return legs at 850,000 Sudanese pounds (about $1413). Flight to Cairo will cost 650,000 Sudanese pounds (about $1080), with the return flight priced at 750,000 Sudanese pounds (about $1247).<\/p>\n

Sudan Airways is planning a phased strategy to rebuild its domestic and international network, aligning with Sudan\u2019s broader effort to revive its aviation sector. The airline will also offer increased baggage allowance as part of its promotional incentives.<\/p>\n

Sudan Airways, in its statement, gave thanks to Sudanese Finance Minister Gibril Ibrahim and Sudanese Transport Minister Saif al-Nasr al-Tijani, as well as Sudanese Central Bank Governor Amna Mirghani Hassan, for facilitating the aircraft\u2019s return.

The airline\u2019s operations are restarting amid an ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which erupted in April 2023, and has devastated the country\u2019s infrastructure, including the main Khartoum International Airport (KIA), which is the airline\u2019s main headquarters.<\/p>\n

Khartoum International Airport is expected to reopen in 2026. In the meantime, Port Sudan New International Airport continues to serve as Sudan\u2019s primary international gateway. International sanctions have previously limited the airline\u2019s access to spare parts, which accelerated fleet decline.
