Having worked in Khartoum now for the last 6 months and visited several times over the years in addition that my previous position allowed me to travel worldwide frequently - I can definitely say that KRT is the “World's Worst Airport”. I think maybe Skytrax should think about this as a new category for 2005. The bureaucracy is on a total new level to another country I have visited, yes even beaten Tel Aviv for non-Jewish visitors and the facilities are no better than an average abattoir. On arrival you have bused to the arrivals terminal were you are expected to queue for up to an hour to pass through passport control, of course this is providing you have a visa in your passport issued in a Sudanese Embassy otherwise an extra hour for one to be issued. Following baggage collection you are then forced to queue again until you are fortunate enough to be selected to have your luggage thoroughly examined before being “released” to leave. The entry though is much less painful than exiting which involves an average of 10 checks or administrative procedures.

1. Show passport to enter airport terminal (most occasions)

2. Show passport and tickets at baggage screening

3. Pay departure fee and get ticket stamped

4. Check-in

5. Complete exit form

6. Show exit form and stamped ticket

7. Get passport stamped

8. Identify your luggage and get it searched - after removing the items YOU will be expected to repack your bag a second time

9. Hand baggage screening and search

10. Ticket collection at gate

11. Before leaving terminal to get bus to the plane; present your passport for verification and exit stamp inspection!

12. The obligatory show of your boarding pass on boarding the plane. Don’t expect duty free, air conditioned waiting areas, business lounges or facilities, smiles, hello, thank you, goodbye, catering, information desk, assistance (even from airline representatives) or toilet facilities and you won’t be left disappointed! But once outside the Worlds Worst Airport you will meet the most pleasant, courteous and honest people that I have ever personally encountered – Welcome to the real Sudan.

يا عبد الله حياك الله

ويا جماعة ايد علي ايد ينصلح الحال طالما عندنا اسمح ناس
ليش ما يكون عندنا اسمح خدمات...يا ربي ما بنستاهل...
الموضوع نقد موضوعي جدا للخدمات بالمطار...

لماذا لا نوجه هذا النقد لاصحاب الحل والعقد بالمطار نفسه

فاقترح عليك يا عبد الله ان تبحث عن جهة الاختصاص لتوجيه هذا
النقد اليهم مباشره ليعملوا علي الحل...

وكل ما قيل لا يخرج عن كونه مسائل تنظيمية...يمكن اعمالها
بطريقه ايسر وتخفف علي المسافرين عناء الصفوف...ويمكن
ان طلبوا ان نشرح لهم تجارب مطارات البحرين الدوحه ابوظبي
دبي...مسقط...هيثرو...اديس ابابا...نيروبي...القاهره...الاسكندريه

مع العلم بانني لم ازر معظم المدن التي ذكرت....

وبلاي عليك الله كمان ناس الخدمة الالزامية ...يوجه ليهم
نقد بشأن استخراج الاعفاءات المؤقته والتي هي عباره
عن بطاقه جميله تنتهي صلاحيتها بمجرد دخول المطار
فاذا سافرت في السنه خمسه مرات عليك بأستخراجها كل مره وتسليمها
بالمطار....فلماذا لا تستخرج بصلاحية سنه او سنتين مثلا
برسوم معقوله؟
