A commercial flight touched down in Sudan’s capital on Sunday, marking only the second arrival since conflict erupted nearly three years ago between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The domestic flight, operated by the national carrier SUDANAIR, arrived at Khartoum International Airport in the afternoon after departing Port Sudan, the eastern Red Sea city that served as a temporary government seat until the administration returned to Khartoum earlier this year, according to the state-run SUNA news agency.

The reopening of Khartoum International Airport represents a key step in efforts to restore normalcy in a capital long disrupted by fighting. Sunday’s arrival follows the first commercial flight since the conflict—a Badr Airlines service in October of last year—which faced drone attacks by the RSF aimed at blocking the airport’s reopening.

The military regained full control of Khartoum from the RSF last year, and the resumption of flights underscores ongoing attempts to stabilize operations in the capital and revive civilian transport links.
