Flights from Addis Ababa to Khartoum (ADD-KRT): Airlines, USD Fares

Flights Addis Ababa -> Khartoum (ADD-KRT) — USD Fares, Airlines, Frequency

5 scheduled departures a week link Addis Ababa (ADD) in Ethiopia with Khartoum (KRT) — one every 1.4 days on average — flown by 2 catalogued carriers at a scheduled block time near 2.0 hours. Our catalogue scores corridor demand 6/10 and files it as an intra-Africa + Gulf hub transit corridor.

Flight ADD -> KRT is operated by Ethiopian Airlines, EgyptAir (~5 flights per week, ~2.0h block time). This is an intra-Africa + Gulf hub transit corridor, with typical economy USD fares in the $500-1,500 band. Intra-Africa and Gulf-hub transit fares move week-to-week; 4-8 weeks is the typical sweet spot.

Great-circle distance Addis Ababa–Khartoum is about 1,000 km, computed from the stored coordinates of ADD (8.98, 38.80) and KRT (15.59, 32.55). What the figure fixes is the sector profile — 1,000 km against a scheduled 2.0-hour block time — and the fuel-and-crew economics behind the fare floor. It does not fix a compensation amount. No fixed-tariff compensation scheme reaches ADD–KRT. EU261 and UK261 do band by distance, but they only cover flights departing an EU/EEA or UK airport — plus arrivals there on a bloc-licensed carrier — and neither endpoint here is one, whoever operates the flight. The Montreal Convention 1999 is what applies, and it pays provable loss, not a tariff.

Airlines on this route

2 carriers operate ADD–KRT: Ethiopian Airlines (ET) and EgyptAir (MS). Our carrier table records checked-baggage baselines of 23 kg; the group spans Star Alliance. That mix decides three things — the fare floor, whether your bag is through-checked on a connection, and which delay regulation covers you.

All 2 carriers here sit inside Star Alliance, which makes ADD–KRT unusually clean for connecting itineraries: a bag tagged at ADD can normally be through-checked to a final destination beyond KRT on a single ticket, and an irregular-operations rebooking has a partner metal to move you onto. The trade-off is price — a single-alliance corridor has less of the cross-alliance undercutting that pushes fares down elsewhere.

Our carrier table records a diaspora / migrant-worker baggage uplift of +5 kg on Ethiopian Airlines and +18 kg on EgyptAir. Read that as a carrier promotion, not a universal entitlement: uplifts of this kind are normally tied to specific fare families and specific corridors, they are rarely honoured on a codeshare or interline segment issued by another airline, and the cheapest promotional fare buckets are the ones most often excluded. Confirm the allowance against your own booking class before you pack to it.

USD fares — ADD-KRT

$1,013 is the most recent weekly reading in our fare log for ADD–KRT, taken in 2026-W25, across 2 readings that range $722 to $1,013. The point-in-time fare cache holds no entry for this corridor, so the weekly log is the observed evidence here.

Typical economy fares on ADD-KRT sit in the $500-1,500 range. Live cached fares from Travelpayouts appear in the panel below; fare-month seasonality follows.

Book 4-8 weeks ahead. Fares rise around the December holidays; mid-week departures are usually the cheapest. That window is cluster guidance for an intra-Africa + Gulf hub transit corridor rather than a rule for this single pairing; on a corridor with 5 weekly departures, the practical constraint is often seat availability on the days you can actually travel, not the headline fare.

The fare family sits outside our data, and it is the piece that decides the real cost. A cached ADD–KRT quote records a price, a date and a carrier — not whether a 23 kg bag, a seat or a change is included. Where the corridor’s floor is set by a stripped fare, the ranking on screen reverses once the bag is added.

Baggage on ADD–KRT: baselines, uplift and the exclusions

23 kg is the checked-baggage baseline our carrier table records for the 2 airlines on ADD–KRT, with a recorded diaspora uplift of up to +18 kg on EgyptAir. Baselines are economy figures and fare-family dependent. The allowance printed on your issued ticket overrides any table, this one included.

The baseline is the headline, the fare family is the contract. On ADD–KRT the same carrier will sell you a fare beneath its own advertised allowance, and those stripped buckets are exactly the ones that set record-low cached prices. Whatever a table says — this one included — the allowance on your issued itinerary is the number that will be enforced at the counter.

Where our table records a migrant or diaspora uplift — +5 kg on Ethiopian Airlines and +18 kg on EgyptAir — three exclusions usually bite. The uplift attaches to nominated corridors rather than the whole network; it rarely survives onto a codeshare or interline segment operated and ticketed by a different airline; and the deepest-discount fare buckets are commonly carved out. None of that makes the uplift fictional, but it does mean it has to be confirmed against your booking class, in writing, before you pack to it.

Is the cheap ADD–KRT itinerary really nonstop?

2.0 hours is the scheduled nonstop block time on ADD–KRT; any itinerary a search returns well above that is connecting, whatever the screen calls it. “Direct” is a flight-number description, not a promise of a single takeoff and landing. Two separately issued sectors are not one contract.

The distinction is not pedantry. A direct flight keeps one flight number through an intermediate stop, so it can sit in the nonstop filter of a search engine while adding an hour on the ground and a second departure to miss. A connecting itinerary changes flight number and usually aircraft. On ADD–KRT the practical test is the elapsed-time figure: compare it against the 2.0-hour block time before you compare prices.

The second trap is the ticket, not the routing. Two cheap sectors bought separately to reach Khartoum are not one contract: your bag is not through-checked, you re-clear security and often immigration at the transfer point, and if the first leg lands late the second airline owes you nothing — no rebooking, no refund, no duty of care. A single ticket that costs more can be the cheaper outcome the first time anything slips.

Search live fares

5 weekly departures across 2 carriers mean a live ADD–KRT search returns several price points for the same day; the most recent weekly reading in our fare log was $1,013. Scheduled nonstop block time is 2.0 hours, so any result far above that is connecting whatever the screen says.

Search ADD -> KRT on Aviasales ->

A live ADD–KRT search is only comparable once three things are pinned: the cabin and passenger count, so totals are like for like; the elapsed time, which separates a genuine nonstop from a routing that merely costs the same; and the baggage the fare includes. Skip any of the three and you are comparing two different products.

Flexible dates are the highest-leverage setting on this corridor. Our own cache shows month-to-month movement on ADD–KRT that dwarfs the difference between booking gates, so one search across a whole month tells you more than five searches on a single date. Where the dates cannot move — a pilgrimage window, a school term, a contract start — book earlier instead of searching harder.

About Khartoum

2 catalogued corridors in this site’s data reach Khartoum (KRT), Khartoum International, ICAO HSSS, from 2 catalogued origins and 2 carriers in total. That count is this site’s coverage of Khartoum, not the airport’s published schedule. Each of those corridors has its own guide with carriers, weekly frequency, scheduled block time and whatever the fare cache holds.

Khartoum, Sudan — destination on the intra-Africa + Gulf hub transit corridor. Destination currency: USD (we quote in USD throughout this guide).

Beyond ADD, our catalogue reaches Khartoum from 1 other origin: Cairo (CAI). That matters when the ADD–KRT fare is unattractive: on a continent where positioning flights are cheap, flying out of a different gateway is a real option, and each of those corridors has its own guide, carriers and cached fare floor on this site.

Where our airport file holds no coordinates, hub carriers or country row for a destination, this page says less rather than guessing — no distance band, no hub analysis, no currency note. Khartoum is catalogued here on the strength of the ADD–KRT corridor itself: the carriers our route file records, the estimated weekly frequency, the scheduled block time and whatever the fare cache has seen. That is a narrower page, and an honest one.

Related routes and reading

2 related pages follow, each chosen because it shares an endpoint, a carrier or an audience cluster with ADD–KRT — not because of a keyword match. The annotations say what each one adds, so the ones that do not apply to your trip can be skipped.

• Addis Ababa airport (ADD) — Bole International, Ethiopia: 13 catalogued departure corridors and 6 arrival corridors.
• Khartoum airport (KRT) — Khartoum International, Sudan: 0 catalogued departure corridors and 2 arrival corridors.

Internal links on this site are placed from the data, not from a keyword list: a corridor is linked when it shares an origin, a destination, a carrier or an audience cluster with the page you are on. If a link above looks unrelated to your trip, it probably shares a carrier or a hub rather than a destination.

Where this page covers one corridor, the linked airport guides cover the field: the full catalogued route list, based hub carriers, alliance mix and the compensation regime that applies there. Both ADD and KRT are linked deliberately, because departure airport and operating carrier — not destination — decide which rules cover a delay.
