Khartoum is home to the largest airport in Sudan, [[Khartoum International Airport]]. It is the main hub for [[Sudan Airways]], Sudan's main carrier. A new airport was planned for the southern outskirts of the city, but with Khartoum's rapid growth and consequent [[urban sprawl]], the airport is still located in the heart of the city.

Khartoum's transportation is limited to the vehicular road system, with buses and personal vehicles comprising the main types of vehicles. As with many cities in the continent, parts of Khartoum are connected through privately owned buses.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bannaga |first=Sharaf Eldin Ibrahim |date=April 11, 2018 |title=Revitalization of Greater Khartoum Urban Transportation System |journal=Future Cities and Environment |language=en |volume=4 |issue=1 |pages=10 |doi=10.5334/fce.2 |issn=2363-9075|doi-access=free|bibcode=2018FutCE...4...10B }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=November 17, 2019 |title=Public transport crisis bothers citizens in Sudan's capital |url=http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-11/17/c_138560848.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191117023505/http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-11/17/c_138560848.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 November 2019 |access-date=2021-10-04 |website=[[Xinhua]]}}</ref>

Khartoum has a number of bridges across both tributaries of the Nile. The [[Mac Nimir Bridge]], the [[Blue Nile Road & Railway Bridge]], the [[Cooper Bridge]] (also known as the Armed Forces Bridge), and the [[Elmansheya Bridge]] span the Blue Nile, connecting Khartoum to Khartoum North. The [[Omdurman Bridge]], the Victory Bridge, and the [[Al-Dabbasin Bridge]] span the White Nile, connecting Khartoum to Omdurman. The [[Tuti Bridge]] connects Tuti Island with Khartoum. Prior to the construction of the Tuti Bridge in 2008, residents of Tuti Island relied on [[water taxi]]s to cross the Blue Nile into Khartoum.

Khartoum has rail lines from [[Wadi Halfa]], Port Sudan on the [[Red Sea]], and [[Al-Ubayyid|El Obeid]]. All are operated by [[Sudan Railways]].
