Kassala Airport — Kassala, Sudan

Kassala Airport serves the city of Kassala in eastern Sudan, capital of Kassala State near the border with Eritrea. At an elevation of about 1,671 feet, it has a single asphalt runway of roughly 8,202 feet, connecting this eastern city to Khartoum and other points across the country. Kassala is known for its distinctive Taka Mountains and its role as a trading center close to the frontier, set in a region of eastern Sudan where the landscape shifts toward the hills and plains near the Red Sea approaches. The KSL code identifies this field, providing air access for a provincial capital whose position near the border gives it regional importance.
