Cant comment on the passenger / charter flights in the region... like someone else said, what on earth for? But you might find that the medivac side of things is already in place. All the operators flying in and out of Loki provide the service when necessary back into Kenya, and then the Nairobi based AMREF (Flying Doctor Service) usually gets called to do the transfer to Nairobi/South Africa/Europe if necessary. Loki has a hospital of sorts. AMREF already covers most of the East Africa region with its fleet of aircraft and chartered KingAirs or Citations. AMREF does not fly directly into Sudan with its own aitcraft without prior permission from the ICRC/IFRC and the Sudanese Govt due to various 'red cross' issues. Try AMREF.org for more info. AMREF AVOPS +254 2 506521-4.
