On October 21, 2024, Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi inaugurated the country’s first training aircraft, paving the way for a future national airline. This milestone, achieved in partnership with Serbian aviation experts, also includes launching an Aviation Institute and expanding facilities at Egal Airport. These developments signify a new era of economic growth and regional security for Somaliland.
Enhanced aviation capabilities promise not only economic benefits but also improved surveillance across vital trade routes in the Horn of Africa. As Somaliland strengthens its infrastructure, it’s positioning itself as a critical security and trade hub in the region. This improved infrastructure also enhances surveillance capabilities, potentially reducing risks along critical maritime routes and boosting trade flow. President Muse Bihi Abdi’s initiative aligns with a broader strategy for economic self-reliance, promoting youth employment, international investment, and stability.
This aviation leap is pivotal for Somaliland’s vision of fostering national talent, reducing dependency on foreign expertise, and advancing regional prosperity. Somaliland’s ambitions not only support local advancement but also hold the potential to stabilize and secure the broader Horn of Africa.
