Sudan Airways launch Kassala to Asmara
Sudan Airways has launched a new service from Kassala in Sudan to the Eritrean capital Asmara. The airline chose the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the independence of Eritrea to launch the first flight. Sudan Airways was formed in 1947 with its first international flights eight years later.
However, the airline had in the recent past some safety issues regarding accidents involving passenger fatalities. On 23 June 2008, the Sudanese CAA announced grounding of Sudan Airways citing the carrier’s failure to take corrective meassures following an audit of the airline.
Currently Sudan Airways has a mixed fleet of 12 Aircraft consisting out of 4 Airbuses, 1 Russian build Antonov, 2 Boeings and 7 smaller planes for regional operations . The Airline has its major hub in Khartoum and is owned 49% by the AREF Investment Group, 21 % by the Faiha Holding Company and 30% by the Sudanese Government.
