Agaasimaha Hay'adda Duulista Rayidka Soomaaliyeed, Axmed Macallin, wuxuu sheegay in diyaar-garowga dib u hawlgelinta Somali Airlines uu dhammaaday, isagoo tilmaamay in duulimaadyada cusub ay bilaabmayaan September 2026 kadib 35 sano oo aysan shirkaddu shaqeyn.
Dib-u-soo-noqoshada Shirkadda Qaranka
Somali Airlines, oo la aas-aasay 1964, waxay ahayd shirkadda diyaaradaha qaranka ee Soomaaliya, iyadoo ka shaqeyn jirtay duulimaadyo gudaha iyo caalami ah ilaa dagaalladii sokeeye ee 1991-kii ay howlaheeda ku joojiyeen.
Dowladda Soomaaliya ayaa sanadihii lasoo dhaafay dhowr jeer shaacisay qorsheyaal lagu soo celinayo Somali Airlines, hase yeeshee waqtiyo kala duwan oo loo qorsheeyay dib u bilaabashada shirkadda ayaa dib u dhacay, taasoo keentay in qorshuhu muddo dheer dib u jiitamo.
Diyaaradaha iyo Diyaar-garowga
Bishii July 2025, dowladda Soomaaliya ayaa ku dhawaaqday inay iibsatay laba diyaaradood oo nooca Airbus A320 ah, kuwaas oo qeyb ka ahaa qorshaha lagu soo noolaynayo Somali Airlines, heshiiskaasna lagu saxiixay xafiiska Ra'isul Wasaaraha Xamza Cabdi Barre.
Wasiirkii Gaadiidka iyo Duulista Hawada Maxamed Faarax Nuux wuxuu sheegay in diyaaradaha lagu shaqeyn doono magaca Somali Airlines muddo laba bilood gudahood ah, halka Wasaaraddu October 2025-kii sheegtay in howlaha dib-u-bilaabidda ay ka hor dhammaadka sanadkaas marayaan.
Garoonka Aadan Cadde iyo Duulimaadyada Caalamiga ah
Garoonka caalamiga ah ee Aadan Cadde ee Muqdisho ayaa xilligan martigeliya shirkado diyaaradeed oo caalami ah, waxaana ka mid ah Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways iyo Turkish Airlines, kuwaas oo isku xira Soomaaliya iyo dalal badan oo gobolka iyo caalamka ah.
Dib-u-soo-noqoshada Somali Airlines ayaa noqon karta tallaabo muhiim ah oo lagu soo celinayo shirkad diyaaradeed oo qaran, iyadoo muddo dheer aysan Soomaaliya lahayn shirkad calankeeda sidata oo si joogto ah uga shaqeysa duulimaadyada gudaha iyo kuwa caalamiga ah.
Somali Airlines is expected to restart its operations in September 2026, ending more than three and a half decades of non-operation since the collapse of Somalia's central government. The Somali Civil Aviation Authority says all preparations are complete, with new flights anticipated to begin next month.
Government Announces Aircraft Purchase and Revival Plan
In July 2025, the Somali government announced the sale of two Airbus A320 aircraft as part of its plan to revive the national carrier. The sale agreement was signed at the office of Somali Prime Minister Xamza Cabdi Barre, with the Minister of Transport and Aviation, Maxamed Faarax Nuux, declaring the planes would operate under the Somali Airlines name within two months.
The purchase was a key step in a broader effort to restore a national flag carrier that had been absent from Somali skies for years. The government has announced revival plans several times in recent years, though each timeline has been delayed, causing the project to stall for an extended period.
Historical Context of Somali Airlines
Founded in 1964, Somali Airlines was the national flag carrier of Somalia, operating both domestic and international flights. Its operations were halted due to the civil wars and were fully suspended in 1991, leaving the country without a national airline for over three decades.
Aadan Cadde International Airport in Mogadishu currently hosts international airlines including Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines, connecting Somalia to many countries in the region and around the world.
Timeline and Ongoing Preparations
In October 2025, the Ministry of Transport and Aviation stated that Somali Airlines would resume its operations before the end of that year, with officials indicating that preparations were at their final stages. However, the latest update from the Somali Civil Aviation Authority's Director General, Axmed Macallin, has pushed the expected start to September 2026.
The resumption of Somali Airlines could be a significant step in restoring a national airline, marking a return to regular domestic and international flights after a long absence. The new flights are expected to begin next month, following the completion of all necessary preparations.
