Rak Airways, a national carrier of the UAE, has marked the expansion of its route network to 10 destinations, with the introduction of flights to Khartoum, Sudan. Effective December 15th, 2011 Rak Airways will offer three flights a week to Sudan’s capital city.

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.

Return, all-inclusive fares start at Dh899 to Khartoum.

Included in the price of all fares is meal and beverages, along with a baggage allowance of 30kg per passenger in addition to the normal hand baggage allowance. There is also a free shuttle service between other emirates and RAK International Airport for each flight.
