ELF Airport (El Fasher Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

Timeline matters at El Fasher (ELF/HSFS): the Rapid Support Forces took the North Darfur capital on 26 October 2025 after roughly 18 months of siege, with the airport falling as the Sudanese army's last position in the city — and it has handled no civil air cargo since. UN investigators reported mass killings and ethnically targeted violence in February 2026, and the UN human rights office assessed the violations committed during the capture as war crimes. Aid organisations report that humanitarian access is being deliberately obstructed, so relief flights into ELF cannot be relied upon either. No cargo terminal, functioning customs post or dangerous-goods capability is confirmed at the site. Sudan-bound consignments instead move through Port Sudan (PZU), which serves as both seaport and air entry point, and through the gradually reopening Khartoum (KRT), continuing overland — although the corridor via El Obeid has also come under pressure since mid-2026. Security across Darfur remains highly volatile and no dependable transit times can be quoted.
