Civil Aviation
Airports in Sudan are grouped into three categories and the criterion applied is as follows:
a) Primary/Major International Aerodromes - The aerodrome of entry and departure for International air traffic, where all formalities concerning customs, immigration, health, animal and plant quarantine and similar procedures are carried out and where traffic services are available on a regular basis.

c) National Aerodrome – Aerodromes available only for domestic air traffic, including those Military aerodromes where civil air traffic is permitted under certain conditions.
