Location

Wadi Halfa, Sudan

Wadi Halfa Airport (IATA: WHF, ICAO: HSSW) serves the town of Wadi Halfa in northern Sudan, situated near the border with Egypt along the shores of Lake Nubia, the Sudanese portion of Lake Nasser. The airport acts as an important regional hub for passengers traveling between Sudan and Egypt, complementing the ferry service that crosses Lake Nubia between Wadi Halfa and Aswan.

It handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily connecting the town to Khartoum and serving travelers who combine air and ferry transit routes.
