On Aug 20th Sudan's Civil Aviation Authority confirmed an Antonov 26 of Alfa Airlines Sudan was involved in the crash.

According to ATDB Alfa Airlines Sudan operate an Ilyushin IL-76D (registration ST-EWD), an Antonov 24RV (registration ST-ARP) and an Antonov 26 (registration ST-AWT).
ATDB lists the Antonov 26 Combi ST-ARL as property of Ababeel Aviation, which dissolved into Alfa Airlines. A photo taken in December 2010 shows ST-ARL active and in good condition at Khartoum airport.

The airline states (date stamp 2008) they operate two IL-76s freighters (ST-AWR and ST-WTB), one Antonov 32 freighter (ST-SMZ), two Antonov 26 freighters (ST-AWT and ST-ARQ), one Antonov 26 Combi (ST-ARL) and one Antonov 24 passenger (ST-ARP).
