I have a friend whom asked me a question; I didn't know the answer, and figured someone here might be more familiar with freight ops in/out of Khartoum, Sudan.
His company is in Dubai and uses a freight forwarder firm to ship valves to Khartoum.
The freight forwarder firm chartered a freight jet to bring the equipment to Khartoum, but was denied landing rights.
The local Khartoum airport officials reportedly indicated this was due to airport congestion.
I do not personally know which firm this was done through or any other details. He was curious if this was normal for Khartoum?
And if this was a subtle way of requesting 'expedited processing fees' for the airport officials to change their mind, or if they truly didn't have capacity for any additional traffic at any time of the day?
Any insight would be much appreciated. He's got me curious now, too! :)
