The airport in Doolow, Gedo region, reopened today after being closed for almost two years. The first official flights have landed at the airport.
The closure was linked to political disputes between the Federal Government of Somalia and the Jubaland administration.
The reopening has been warmly welcomed by the people of Gedo, especially residents of Doolow, who had long called for flights to resume.
Doolow, located on the Somalia-Ethiopia border, is a strategic town connecting Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The airport’s reopening is expected to ease travel, trade, and community ties, and boost the region’s economy.
