PZU Port Sudan

How deep the PZU board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from PZU. This reads the same 14 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 7of the 14 destinations are flown by one airline
• 9destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 78.6%of the destinations name Tarco Aviation, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at PZU

Seven airlines appear on the PZU board and they do not hold it evenly. Tarco Aviation is on 11 of the 14 destinations, 78.6 per cent of them, and on 4 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 12 of the 13.2 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Euroairlines on 7 destinations. 5 of the 7 airlines at PZU appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 11 of the 14 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a PZU sector is usually another Tarco Aviation aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at PZU than the destination count does.

How much of the PZU board is daily

Of the 14 destinations, 5 are flown at least once a day and 9 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the PZU board is flown 5 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: PZU to Juba (JUB) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 8.7 of the 13.2 departures a day, 66.4 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves PZU is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The six destinations out of PZU where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from PZU

The desk holds the return direction for 11 of the 14 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into PZU runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Cairo (CAI) at 2.6 out a day against 1 back and Medina (MED) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: Jeddah (JED) files 5.6 a day back into PZU against 1.9 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at PZU

PZU keeps Africa/Khartoum time, two hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at PZU, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at PZU and still make a departure the same day.

Where PZU turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Sudan country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PZU already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 14 destinations above.
