Sudan's gateway on the Red Sea coast.

Location
Port Sudan, Sudan
Port Sudan New International Airport (IATA: PZU, ICAO: HSPN) serves Port Sudan, the main seaport city of Sudan located on the western shore of the Red Sea. The airport functions as a key air gateway for northeastern Sudan, handling both domestic and limited international traffic. The airport has gained increased strategic importance following the ongoing conflict in Sudan that began in April 2023, as Khartoum's airports became non-operational, making Port Sudan a primary hub for humanitarian and government operations. Sudan Airways and a number of regional carriers have redirected operations through the airport during this period. The facility supports cargo operations tied to Port Sudan's role as Sudan's principal seaport, and it handles flights connecting to destinations in the Middle East and across the African continent.
Terminals
The airport operates with a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international arrivals and departures.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Port Sudan city center is primarily served by taxis and private vehicles, with no formal rail or bus rapid transit link.
Airlines here
Sudan Airways is the primary carrier operating at the airport, with regional airlines including Flynas and other Middle Eastern carriers providing international connections.
