Somaliland Makes Belated Move to Challenge Somalia Control of its Airspace
Somalia And Somaliland In Fresh Battle Over Control Of Airspace
A new battlefront between Somalia and Somaliland is emerging over the control of the airspace.
This comes after Somalia signed agreements to transfer complete management of Somali airspace to Federal Somalia with International Civil Aviation Organisation and International Air Traffic Authority, the former having been responsible for its management and control for over 28 years.
The handover of the airspace includes the transfer of staff who were manning the operations under ICAO as well as all the revenue realized of airspace use and overflights which was previously managed by the international agencies.
