Cairo-Khartoum flights resume after two-day hiatus

CAIRO, April 13 (MENA) – Egyptian airlines resumed on Saturday their flights to Sudanese airports after they were suspended Thursday in the wake of a Sudanese decision to close the country's airspace.

EgyptAir flight no. 857 left Cairo on Saturday, heading to Khartoum International Airport with 140 passengers on board, said sources at Cairo airport.

The Egyptian flagship carrier will operate two more flights to Sudan today, the sources said, adding that the company operates three flights every day to Sudan.
