Mogadishu (HOL) - Somalia is pulling out all the stops to regain financial control over its airspace. In an ambitious move to reclaim its lost millions, the Federal Government of Somalia is enlisting the aid of international debt collection agencies to recover an estimated $30 million in outstanding overflight fees. The main culprits are smaller regional airlines, particularly those headquartered in Kenya, which account for over 60% of these unpaid fees.
