عدلان: تحصيل جوبا رسوم الطيران بالدولار يفرض تحديات جديدة على الشركات السودانية

The decision by South Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority to require all aviation fees to be paid in US dollars has been criticized by former Director of Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority, Ibrahim Adlan.

This development is significant as it will increase the operational and financial burdens on Sudanese airlines operating regular flights to South Sudan. The requirement for payment in US dollars may also create difficulties for airlines that do not have access to foreign exchange.

The relevant legal context is the agreement between Sudan and South Sudan on aviation cooperation, which allows for the free movement of aircraft and personnel between the two countries. However, the decision by South Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority to require payment in US dollars may be seen as a unilateral move that undermines this agreement.

The key parties involved include South Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority, Sudanese airlines operating in South Sudan, and the government of Sudan. Practitioners should monitor this development as it may have implications for aviation cooperation between Sudan and South Sudan.
