2.2 Somalia Aviation
Somalia Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data Website information on Somalia
As of Nov 2013, Somalia has 62 airports. 7 of these have paved runways. Among the latter, four have runways of over 3,047 m; two between 2,438 m and 3,047 m; and one 1,524 m to 2,437 m long. There are 55 airports with unpaved landing areas. One has a runway of over 3,047 m; four are between 2,450 m to 3,050 m in length; twenty are 1,500 m to 2,450 m; twenty-four are 900 m to 1,500 m; and six are less than 900 m.
For nearly two decades, a small United Nations body has managed
Somalia’s airspace without Somali involvement and international
oversight. The Civil Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia
(CACAS), based in Nairobi, was formed in 1996 as a joint effort of
UNDP and the International Civil Aviation Organisation, to ensure
safe air transport over Somali airspace in the absence of a
functional central government.
Due to a poor and often-unsafe road network and the seasonable
availability of seaports, the airports of Somalia have become vital
trading platforms and essential gateways to the country,
stimulating local business, economic development, employment and
communications.
The programme is primarily funded from air navigation charges
applied to air operators transiting Somali airspace and landing at
Somali airports. This revenue is however insufficient to meet the
demands to rehabilitate maintain and develop air transport
infrastructure which is essential to humanitarian, developmental
and commercial activities. The Somali Civil Aviation Authority is
the national civil aviation body of Somalia. Based in the capital
Mogadishu, it is under the aegis of the federal Ministry of Air and
Land Transport.
After a long period of management by the Civil Aviation Caretaker
Authority for Somalia, Somalia Civil Aviation Authority is slated
to reassume control of Somalia's airspace by the end of 2013. In
preparation for the transition, staffs within Somalia are set to
receive training. Over 100 airspace personnel are to be transferred
to Mogadishu for management duties.
CACAS – Civil Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia Website: CACAS Civil Aviation Authority for Somalia Website
The Somali Federal Government has begun preparations to revive
the national carrier, Somali Airlines. The Somali authorities along
with the Somali Civil Aviation Steering Committee (SCASC) a joint
commission composed of officials from Somalia's federal and
regional governments as well as members of the CACAS, ICAO/TCB and
UNDP convened with international aviation groups in Montreal to
request support for the ongoing rehabilitation efforts.
The SCASC set a three-year window for reconstruction of the
national civil aviation capacity. It also requested the complete
transfer of Somali civil aviation operations and assets from the
CACAS caretaker body to the Somali authorities.

2.2.1 Somalia Aden Abdulle International Airport Mogadishu
Aden Abdulle International Airport is the former Mogadishu
International Airport; it is an international airport serving
Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. It is named after Aden Abdullah
Osman Daar, the first President of Somalia. Originally a modest
sized airport, the facility grew considerably in size in the
post-independence period after numerous successive renovation
projects.
With the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, flight services at Aden
Abdulle International airport continued experiencing routine
disruptions. However, with the minimal security improvement in
Mogadishu during the years 2010-2011, a large-scale rehabilitation
of the ground’s infrastructure and services has resumed.
By early 2013, the airport had restored most of its facilities and
introduced several new features, with further upgrades in the
works.

Security
Safety and security is a priority for the Somali Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority. When travelling by plane you will be required to go through Passenger Security Screening for a security check. This security check is related to what you are allowed to take with you on board. This is to ensure that you are not carrying any potentially dangerous substances or items that could pose a risk to the passengers and crew or to the security and safety of the aircraft. Mogadishu Aden Abdulle International Airport recommends arrival at the airport at least 2 hours before scheduled flight departure. Passengers are advised to carry ONE piece of hand luggage. Sharp objects should be removed from carry-on luggage and placed in checked-in luggage. Security is provided by AMISOM together with private company and Somali Police.

2.2.4 Somalia Bossaso International Airport (Puntland)
Bender Qasim International Airport, which serves Bossaso, is operative only during the daytime. Travelers can obtain visas upon arrival.
The airport has been upgraded and the upgrade cost about US $10 million. The renovation work aimed to expand the airport’s runway from 1.7 km to 2.6 km, construct duty-free shops, improve parking areas for both passenger and cargo planes, and cars and expand immigration offices. The expansion exercise was launched in December 2014 and was accomplished in January 2016. The project was undertaken by China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC).
Planes with much bigger capacities will now be able to fly directly to the port city. Recently the flights were provided by small air charter firms with small crafts.
