The Civil Aviation Authority Denies Reports of Closure of Aadan Cadde Airport

Mogadishu — The Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) has denied reports circulated on social media in recent days claiming that the Aadan Cadde International Airport will be closed in the coming days, due to high-level delegations and officials heading to the city of Mogadishu.

The circulated reports stated that in the next two days, flights departing from and arriving at Aadan Cadde Airport would be halted, linking this action to the arrival of officials and high-level delegations coming to the country.

Additionally, the reports indicated that some of the major roads in the city of Mogadishu would be subjected to a curfew or restrictions related to the movement of these officials.

The Somali Civil Aviation Authority has categorically denied all these reports, stating that there will be no changes to the operations at Aadan Cadde International Airport.

The authority shared with the Somali public that the regular flights arriving at and departing from the airport will operate as usual, and there are no plans to close the airport in the coming days.

SCAA has urged the public to verify information related to flights and airport operations in the country, and to seek official news only from the official channels of the relevant authorities.

The authority stated that this step is crucial to protect the community from unverified news that could create confusion regarding flight operations and passenger movement.
