It is one of the two international airports in South Sudan, the other being Malakal Airport.
South Sudan’s own civil aviation authority does not classify Malakal as an international airport; it lists Malakal as a regional airport.
Full reasoning
The statement says Malakal Airport is the other international airport in South Sudan. But the South Sudan Civil Aviation Authority (SSCAA) currently classifies airports differently:
- On SSCAA’s “Airports of South Sudan” page, Juba International Airport is listed as Type: International, while Malakal Airport is listed as Type: Regional.
- On SSCAA’s dedicated Malakal Airport page, the airport is again identified as “Airport Type: Regional.”
Because the country’s own aviation authority does not classify Malakal as an international airport, the article’s statement that Juba is "one of the two international airports" and that the other is Malakal is incorrect.
