“Somali government has plans to enhance 8 airports in the country. 3 of these airports are located in Puntland” said Minister Omaar.

He reminded the attendants the foremost objective of the federal government is to boost economic achievement. “First priority for the federal government is economic growth, airport infrastructures and air navigation.”

Minister Omaar noted the immense efforts the government employed to win back its airspace.

“Somali government made great efforts to regain the airspace which we succeeded and now it is controlled inside the country.”
