Zalingei Airport is a small domestic airport serving the city of Zalingei, the capital of Central Darfur state in western Sudan. It primarily supports humanitarian operations and government transport in a region that has experienced prolonged conflict and instability. The airport has limited civilian commercial services and has been used significantly by United Nations and international aid organizations operating in the Darfur region. Infrastructure is basic, reflecting the remote and conflict-affected nature of the area. Ground access to central Zalingei is limited, relying on unpaved and semi-improved roads typical of the region. The airport's operational status can vary depending on the prevailing security and political situation in Darfur.
