## Description

The Rapid Support Forces have run Nyala (UYL) in South Darfur since the early phase of Sudan's 2023 war, reopening it in September 2024 as a military cargo strip rather than a commercial field. Reported traffic centres on resupply and drone shipments, with the runway rehabilitated through foreign backing; observers also link the airfield to gold moving out of Darfur. No bookable civil air-freight service operates here. Forwarders handling Sudan should route international cargo through Port Sudan (PZU) on the Red Sea and treat overland links as the practical option into Darfur. In short, Nyala sees aircraft but offers nothing a freight forwarder can sell.
