A Sudanese airplane has been hijacked in Khartoum by an armed men who has diverted it to Chad's capital N'Djamena, Al Jazeera reports.
"There are 103 people on board," Ahmed Salih, commercial manager of the Air West airline which operates the Boeing 737 jetliner, said on Wednesday.
"It was hijacked at 9am local time (0600 GMT) and will arrive in N'Djamena at 11am," he said.
"So far there is one hijacker with an AK-47 machine gun."
He added there were no other demands made by the hijacker, whose identity is unknown.
Another source at Khartoum airport told Reuters the aircraft was destined for el-Fasher, the main town in Sudan's western Darfur region.
It was not clear how the hijacker got on board the craft with a weapon, but Sudanese security is often lax, especially on internal flights.
