History

In 2014, the Sudanese Ministry of Defence signed a contract with Khartoum Airports Holding to build and upgrade airports in Central and East Darfur, with Ed Daein Airport as being one of the locations included. $25m US dollars was allocated for the airport, alongside Zalingei Airport.[3]

During early November 2023, the Rapid Support Forces seized Ed Daein Airport, and also published recordings of their seizure of the airport.[4]
