Am looking for a reliable ground handler to support our would be B742F operation into Khartoum end April. Services required will include Fueling, full GSE - ACU, GPU, Maindeck loaders, water-truck, push-truck, etc. Will also require ATC flight plan filing. Please share your valuable thoughts/experience with me to source for a reliable GHA in Khartoum for our ops.

Try here: African Aviation - New web links and look at Ground Handling section. You will find a couple of useful links over there.

Good luck.

Handling is expensive for a corporate jet so..........a jumbo is going to be a whole lot more. First hand experience on a corporate jet.

Zaly, doesn't sound like you come to Africa too often. Me thinks you'll have a memorable trip.

Still wondering why a freighter needs a water truck.

AHBA, BADR or air taxi are good bets, AZZA operates a 707 here as did Sudan Air for a while so they will have the equipment you need. Failing that, contact Saudi air (they fly a 74 here daily) or MK airlines, they had a 6 month gig here, not sure who did the handeling but I am sure they could tell you. If not PM me the full details and I will make some calls.
