Gateway to North Darfur in western Sudan.

Location

El Fasher, Sudan

El Fasher Airport is a regional airport serving El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state in western Sudan. It functions as a critical air link for a region that has experienced prolonged conflict and humanitarian crises, including the Darfur conflict that began in the early 2000s. The airport has served as an important hub for United Nations and humanitarian relief operations in the area, handling flights by international aid organizations alongside limited commercial services.
