Duufaan Posted November 12, 2018 Somali Parliament debated on Aviation and Airspace Bill The Members of Somali Parliament today debated on the country’s civil aviation bill less than a year after the country regained the control its airspace. The bill which was drafted by the Ministry of Aviation was approved by the cabinet in May this year before it was submitted to the federal parliament. The bill is expected to help the country manage the aviation which could lead to economic growth. Late last year, Somali government retook the control of its airspace after more than two decades. Air traffic over the Horn of African nation was under the control of the United Nations since 1992, a year after the Somali civil war broke out following the collapse of the collapse of the Central government. Prior to the collapse of Somalia’s central government led by late Mohamed Siyad Barre in 1991, the country effectively and efficiently managed and controlled its airspace and was able to collect overfly charges. When the country plunged into civil war, Somalia lost millions of dollars as there was no credible oversight organization despite ICAO operations to control the air traffic over Somalia.

Duufaan Posted November 12, 2018 SL will eventually get a lot of many for completely taking over it,s air space. One’s somalia’s Parliament ratifies the laws. Next it will go UN egency that responsible for air safety and Somali will complely manage it’s air space. Otherwise it could completely lose it’s rights and someone else will given to manage it. You talking about 30 millions to 70 millions a yearly. That money could employ many poor Somalis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
