Sudan Airways (SD, Khartoum) has resumed scheduled commercial flights with its only aircraft, an A320-200, after it was temporarily grounded pending repairs delayed by a shortage of spare parts in Sudan.
The airline announced on social media that "the technical maintenance work has been successfully completed, allowing the national carrier to take a new step towards resuming its flights".
ADS-B data confirmed that the company-owned 19.8-year-old A320, ST-MKW (msn 3040), resumed services from Port Sudan International to Cairo International on November 3, 2026, after it had been parked since October 30.
The airline, in an earlier statement, had said that flights would resume subject to the arrival of the required spare part and completion of repairs.
The airline operates between Khartoum and Port Sudan domestically, and to Cairo, Riyadh, and Jeddah International regionally, according to ADS-B data.
The airline resumed operations from Khartoum in May 2026, operating its first pilgrimage charter in nine years. The return came two weeks after the Sudanese capital and airport were targeted in a drone attack. Khartoum airport had been closed in 2023 after aircraft parked there were destroyed during militia attacks. It reopened in October 2025.
Sudan Airways has since been working to rebuild its operations. In February 2026, the airline said it expected to receive three new aircraft as part of a wider government-backed plan to rehabilitate and develop the country's transport sector.
