About Port Sudan New International Airport

Overview

Port Sudan New International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub for the Red Sea region of Sudan, located in the eastern part of the country. Situated at an elevation of 135 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides essential connectivity for maritime and regional transportation in this strategic coastal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of Red Sea maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind challenges, particularly on the 16/34 runway which spans 8,202 feet and is surfaced with asphalt.

Notable Features

Port Sudan's airport is positioned near significant maritime infrastructure, with geographical coordinates at 19.433599° North, 37.234100° East. The medium-sized airport's terrain is relatively flat, characteristic of the Red Sea coastal plain, which can provide consistent approach and departure conditions.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (16/34) suggests standard left-hand traffic patterns and potential wind-based runway selection. Given the runway's substantial length of 8,202 feet, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, providing flexibility for diverse operational requirements.
