## Description

In eastern Sudan near the Eritrean border, Kassala Airport (KSL) stays in operation while war has grounded much of the country's aviation. Badr Airlines and Tarco Aviation serve this agrarian trading town, helped by the relative stability of the east, though certain flights need landing permits. The airport runs no standalone cargo operation; the region's farm exports move by road to the Red Sea and Port Sudan (PZU). Time-critical airfreight to Sudan is consigned along that axis. Kassala is famed for its fruit orchards beneath the striking Taka Mountains.
