El Geneina new airport is a public airport that is operated by the government and serves El Geneina, the capital of Western Darfur State. It highly improved the logistic capacity in the state.
The new airport is accessible through asphalt road and accessible all year round after the construction of two bridges early 2018 that enables uninterrupted movement during rainy seasons. Constraint to be considered is the security on the extended road. The Airport is used by UNAMID, UNHAS and other commercial operators. UNAMID have a separate passenger terminal while WFP has an office within the limited terminal buildings and support structure. The Airport Authority operates the airport from 0800 hours to 1500 hours.
