airport_desc | Bentu Airport is a public aviation facility located in the city of Bentiu, in the northern region of South Sudan. Situated at an elevation of 1, 293 feet above sea level, the airport serves as a crucial hub for air transportation in the region. Bentiu, the capital of Unity State, relies on the airport for both passenger travel and the transport of goods, especially given the area's underdeveloped road infrastructure.
