The Khartoum airport received the first flight of South Sudan's airline between Khartoum and South Sudanese capital Juba, Xinhua reported citing the SUNA news agency.
"This is the first flight of the South Supreme Airlines to Khartoum airport," the agency quoted an airline official as saying Sunday.
The move determines willingness of Sudan and South Sudan to enhance cooperation between the two sides and provide benefits to the peoples on either side, the official said.
This flight denotes revival of the cooperation agreement between private sectors of the two countries, said the chairman of the Sudanese Businessmen Association.
The two sides have agreed to convene an economic and commercial conference in Khartoum in October to work out a comprehensive cooperation work programme.
