I always wondered why would any sane Soomaali fly Xabashi airlines. I remember years ago looking for airline ticket to buy, and going to this Soomaali-owned travel agency, whom had a guy I knew who worked there. That guy wasn't there, but a Xabashi lady was working.
After asking her the lowest available prices, she quoted this Xabashi airline. I laughed at her face and told her point blank that I would never fly a Xabashi-owned airline, even if it was free. She was kinda shocked, asking me why repeatedly. I told her no need to state the obvious. I told her I will come back when the guy I knew was there.
