Merowe Airport (IATA: MWE, ICAO: HSMN) is an airport serving the town of Merowe in Sudan. After critical facilities were completed in 2006, the current airport replaced the smaller Merowe Town airport 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the west.[3] The new Merowe airport has hosted Sudanese Air Force jet fighters, but does not host any full time units stationed.[4]
The airport was attacked during the 2023-2024 War in Sudan, where RSF militias captured Egyptian soldiers who were serving joint military exercises with their Sudanese counterparts.[5] Later, on April 27th 2024, the SAF claimed to have shot down three drones targeting the airport.[6]
