Sudan's Nova takes second CRJ

Nova Airways, the Sudanese regional low-cost carrier that evolved from the country's leading travel agency has increased its fleet with a second Bombardier CRJ200 ER.

The airline currently serves domestic routes working alongside an increasing tourism business with flights from Khartoum to Nyala, Al Fashir, Port Sudan and Juba but according to the airline, they could soon begin international routes.

The regional jet has been acquired from Hungary’s Malev airline

Commercial Director Mr Livio Arizzi said, "We required the Bombardier CRJ-200 ER jet aircraft to fulfil specific customer demands for higher than turboprop speeds on routes of more than 575 miles (925 km).”
Nova’s fleet also includes Airbus and Boeing narrow bodies.
