Gateway to South Darfur in western Sudan.

Location

Nyala, Sudan

Nyala Airport (IATA: UYL, ICAO: HSNN) serves Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state in western Sudan. It is one of the busiest airports in Sudan by passenger volume, reflecting the large population of the Darfur region and significant humanitarian and UN operations in the area. The airport has historically supported a substantial number of humanitarian flights operated by UN agencies and NGOs, in addition to commercial services connecting Nyala to Khartoum. Its role as a logistical hub for international relief efforts stems from the prolonged conflict and humanitarian crisis in Darfur that began in the early 2000s. Commercial air service links Nyala primarily to Khartoum, making it a vital connection for residents of South Darfur to the national capital. The airport's infrastructure is modest, consistent with its regional status.
