RAK Airways re-launched operations a year ago with two routes to Jeddah, KSA and Calicut, India. Over the last twelve months the airline has focused on extending its route network across the GCC, Indian sub-continent and North Africa; RAK Airways entry into Sudan marks a milestone for the airline, which now operates to 10 destinations.

In the weeks following the airline’s first anniversary, RAK Airways announced the introduction of flights to Peshawar and Lahore in Pakistan, Kuwait and an increase in frequency to its Doha flights to seven times a week.

RAK Airways CEO Omar Jahameh said, “We had a clear mandate to fly to 10 destinations within one year of re-launching our operations. With the introduction of our flights to Khartoum, we have achieved our objective and laid the foundation for a successful and profitable future for the airline.
Khartoum presents compelling business opportunities and marks our commitment to furthering our presence in North Africa.”
