About Khartoum International Airport
Overview
Khartoum International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Sudan, located in the capital city at an elevation of 1265 feet above mean sea level. The airport handles significant commercial and potentially military aviation traffic, strategically positioned near the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers.
Flying Conditions
Khartoum's airport experiences a hot desert climate with extreme temperature variations and typically low humidity. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal turbulence and significant daytime heat affecting aircraft performance, particularly given the airport's elevation of 1265 ft MSL and geographic location.
Notable Features
The airport features a single substantial runway (18/36) measuring 9,751 feet in length, constructed of asphalt and capable of accommodating large aircraft. Its geographic coordinates at 15.589500, 32.553200 place it in a relatively flat region with minimal surrounding terrain challenges.
Approach Considerations
The single runway (18/36) provides flexibility for landings and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. Given the runway's significant length of 9,751 feet, most commercial and cargo aircraft should have ample space for safe operations, with approach considerations primarily focused on managing potential thermal and wind-related variables.
