Flights to Khartoum
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Khartoum is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Khartoum International Airport (KRT), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,751 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Khartoum International Airport | KRT | 5 km (3 mi) | 9,751 ft | 1,265 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,751 ft, KRT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,265 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
