## Description

The IATA code WUU marks Wau Airport, serving the capital of South Sudan's Western Bahr el Ghazal state on the Jur River. Wau is also the southern terminus of the country's only railway, the largely defunct line from Babanusa in Sudan, which leaves road as the practical land link. The airport mainly handles humanitarian traffic for UNMISS, the World Food Programme and NGOs; there is no commercial cargo terminal. International air freight is consolidated through Juba (JUB) to the south-east. For forwarders, WUU is a regional feeder for aid and project loads rather than a freight hub in its own right.
