The route mix at KRT splits into 2 short sectors under four hours, 0 medium sectors of four to seven hours and 0 long-haul sectors beyond seven — a profile that tells you what the terminal is actually built around. 0 of the corridors here are flagged in our data as labour-migration or diaspora routes, where checked-baggage terms drive booking decisions more than schedule does.

Two codes, two uses. KRT is the IATA code you will see on a ticket, a baggage tag and a departure board, while HSSS is the ICAO code used in flight plans, NOTAMs and air-traffic filing. They are not interchangeable: IATA codes are reused across the world’s smaller fields and are the ones that cause mis-booking, which is why every corridor on this site is keyed on the pair of codes rather than a city name.

Airlines serving KRT

2 carriers appear on the KRT corridors catalogued here, 2 of them with a row in our carrier file, recording checked-baggage baselines of 23 kg, and 2 of those rows sit inside a global alliance (Star Alliance 2). That list is built from the 2 corridors this site catalogues through KRT, so it is our coverage rather than the airport’s full published schedule.

These carriers operate the KRT corridors catalogued on this site.

Alliance spread decides how easily a disruption at KRT gets fixed. With 2 Star Alliance carriers on these corridors, a passenger stuck here can sometimes be reflowed onto a partner without a new ticket — but only within the same alliance, and only when the original ticket permits it. Between alliances, re-accommodation is a commercial favour rather than an entitlement.

Diaspora and migrant-worker baggage uplift recorded against carriers here: Ethiopian Airlines +5 kg and EgyptAir +18 kg. These are carrier promotions attached to nominated corridors and fare families — they do not follow you onto a partner’s codeshare segment, and the cheapest fare buckets are usually excluded. Confirm against your own booking class rather than the table.

Top routes into KRT

6/10 is the highest demand score on any KRT corridor in our catalogue — Addis Ababa to Khartoum (ADD–KRT), about 5 flights a week on ET and MS. Demand score is this catalogue’s own 1-10 editorial rating across 2 corridors at KRT, not a passenger count from a civil-aviation authority.

Sorted by demand; the USD market-low column is the cheapest fare our cache has seen on the corridor across all carriers.

RouteCarriersFreq/wkBlock (h)Market low (USD)
Addis Ababa (ADD) → Khartoum (KRT)ET, MS~5~2.0
Cairo (CAI) → Khartoum (KRT)MS~5~2.5

Schedule concentration is the number worth noticing: the three busiest corridors account for about 100% of the roughly 10 weekly departures our catalogue records at KRT. A concentrated airport recovers well on its trunk routes — several rotations a day means a cancellation is a wait, not a lost day — and badly on its thin ones, where the next flight can be days away.

Block times across these corridors run from about 2.0 h to 2.5 h. That range is the practical reason a single connecting-time rule does not work at KRT: a short regional inbound and a long-haul outbound have very different delay profiles, and a tight self-built connection between them is where most missed onward flights on this site’s corridors happen. On separate tickets there is no protection at all.

Passenger compensation rights at KRT

1 instrument reaches KRT: the Montreal Convention 1999. Sudan operates no EU261-style fixed cash scheme, so there is no statutory payout for a long delay — the cover is for baggage and provable delay losses, capped at about 1,288 SDR per passenger (the Special Drawing Right cap, roughly $1,700 USD at recent IMF rates).

Khartoum’s catalogued arrivals sit outside the EU261 / UK261 / GACA / APPR / DOT cash-compensation schemes, so the Montreal Convention is the operative floor — it covers baggage loss and provable delay losses on any international ticket.

Corridors and typical fares from KRT

0 of the 2 KRT corridors carry a cached USD quote, so most pricing here is planning-band rather than observed. Fares are quoted in USD across the whole site so corridors from different African markets stay comparable. Sector length drives the shape: 2 run under four hours, 0 four to seven and 0 beyond seven.

Most KRT corridors here serve intra-Africa and Gulf-hub business travellers. The mix is 2 short intra-Africa hops (under 4 h). USD fares vary by corridor — intra-Africa typically $400–900, Gulf hubs $500–1,200, long-haul $800–2,200; each per-route guide below carries live cached fares.

The shape of the fare curve follows the sector length. The 2 short corridors under four hours from KRT price like regional traffic and move mostly with the day of the week; the 0 long-haul corridors beyond seven hours move with season and school holidays, and can double between the cheapest and dearest month in our own cache. Mixing the two on one average would be meaningless, which is why every corridor page carries its own floor.

Direct flights to KRT — 2 routes

2 catalogued routes are listed below for KRT, reaching 2 countries, led by Ethiopia and Egypt. Our catalogue records 0 departure and 2 arrival corridors at KRT, each linking to a corridor guide with carriers, frequency, block time and any cached fare. The list is this site’s catalogue, not the airport’s timetable.

Each link opens a corridor guide rather than a booking form: carriers, an estimated weekly frequency, scheduled block time, the great-circle distance used that sets an EU261 or UK261 band where either applies, and whatever the fare cache holds. That is deliberate — the useful decision on a corridor is usually which routing and which carrier, and only then which price.

The list covers this site’s catalogue, not the airport’s timetable. We add corridors where there is a real audience among African travellers — diaspora, pilgrim, intra-Africa and business traffic — so a seasonal charter or a thin regional service out of Khartoum may be missing even though it operates. A blank fare means no cached quote rather than no service.

FAQ

5 questions below answer what travellers ask most often about this page’s subject, drawn from the same route, carrier, airport and fare files as everything above. Where a figure is missing from our data, the answer says so rather than estimating.

Sources

2 primary sources cited on this page are regulator and government material, not secondary summaries. Each is listed with what it actually governs, so a claim on this page can be checked against the instrument it comes from. Where a value is missing from our own files we leave the cell blank rather than estimate it.

Two-source discipline applies to every passenger-rights claim on this site: the regulator’s own text for the rule, and a commercial explainer only as a secondary reading. Where the two disagree, the regulator wins. Compensation figures stay in the currency of the instrument — euro for EU261, pound for UK261, Canadian dollar for APPR, SDR for Montreal — because converting them to USD would imply a precision the instruments do not have.

1 related page follow. Each is linked because it shares an endpoint, a carrier, a country or an audience cluster with this one — the annotations say what each adds, so the ones that do not apply to your trip can be skipped.

  • Flights to Sudan — country landing page: 2 catalogued corridors from African airports, carriers, visa row and the USD fare floor we have on file.

These links come out of the data rather than an editorial wish-list. Two pages are connected when they share an airport, a carrier, a destination country or an audience cluster, which means the list is stable as the catalogue grows and does not drift toward whatever term happens to rank. Skip what does not match your trip.

Corridor pages carry the per-route detail — carriers, weekly frequency, scheduled block time, great-circle distance and whatever the fare cache holds. Airport pages carry the full catalogued route list at that field, the based hub carriers and the compensation regime of the country it sits in. Carrier pages carry the baggage baseline, alliance and the network as this catalogue records it.
