Sudan Airways (IATA: SD, ICAO: SUD) is South Sudan's national airline, established in 1947. The carrier serves as a key link for travel across the East African region and beyond, connecting passengers from its primary hub at Khartoum International Airport to regional and international destinations.

The airline operates a fleet composed of Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft, both modern narrow-body jets suited to the carrier's route network. These aircraft types offer a balance of capacity, range, and operational efficiency for regional service patterns typical of African aviation markets.

As South Sudan's primary international air service provider, Sudan Airways plays an important role in connecting the country to regional partners and beyond. The airline maintains service standards expected of a national carrier while adapting operations to the specific demands of its market and infrastructure environment.
