Distance & flight time from ELF

El Fasher Airport

El Fasher Airport, coded ELF, is located in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur in Sudan, a city that has been at the center of intense fighting during Sudan's ongoing civil conflict since 2023. Rather than functioning as a normal civilian gateway, the airport has repeatedly become a target and staging point amid clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, with reports of shelling, damage to infrastructure, and disruptions to any flight operations. Historically ELF supported limited domestic and humanitarian flights connecting Darfur to Khartoum, but the conflict has severely curtailed or halted routine air traffic, with humanitarian access itself becoming precarious and contested during the siege of the city.
