Sudan Airways was formed by Sudan Railways in 1947 to serve parts of the country that no railways reached. The initial fleet was four de Havilland Doves. In 1952, the airline acquired its first DC-3 and expanded to seven aircraft. These were used for international services to Aden,Asmara, Beirut, Cairo (then considered domestic) and Jeddah. In 1959, the Vickers Viscount was added to the fleet and the Blue Nile flights to European destinations started. Also in 1959, Sudan Airways joined IATA. In 1962, Sudan Airways took delivery of two De Havilland Cometjets (DH106-4C, as ST-AAW and ST-AAX) to replace its Vickers Viscounts. By 1967, the airline had replaced its DC-3s with Fokker F27s.^{[citation needed]} Subsequently, the fleet was modernised with Boeing 707, Boeing 737, Airbus A310, Airbus A300, Fokker 50 and more recently has acquired through lease-finance, three Airbus A320s.^{[citation needed]}
