Dongola Airport serves the capital of Sudan's Northern State, in the historic Nubian region, relatively more distant from the main fronts of Sudan's civil war compared to Khartoum.
The airport has nevertheless remained subject to instability incidents related to the conflict, including a drone attack on April 7, 2025 that destroyed a fuel depot: the vast majority of Western governments strongly advise against any travel to Sudan at present. Always verify the most up-to-date official sources before considering this airport.
