New Khartoum International Airport (Arabic:مطار الخرطوم الدولي الجديد) is an international airport under construction since 2006[1] in Omdourman, Sudan, 40 km (25 mi) south of Khartoum's city centre. It completed its first milestone (an annual capacity of 6 million) in 31 December 2025.[2]
History
Completion was scheduled for 2010[1] which was moved to 2022.[3] This was planned to have two 4,000 metres (13,000 ft) runways, a passenger terminal of 86,000 square metres (930,000 sq ft) and a 300-room international hotel.[4][1] Construction was to be carried out by China Harbour Engineering Co. (CHEC),[5] but the Turkey-based construction firm Summa was later selected for construction of New Khartoum Airport in 2018,[6] but construction has been suspended as of 2021.[3]
