If entrepreneurs and businesses men from Somalia and outside it can start their own airline, why can’t the national airline be brought back?

Because the government is too corrupt for that. Common theme in Somalia's development is Individual Men doing what the state should be. But these individuals cannot do everything so Somalia is still lagging. For example, a man can build a construction company which replaces those tin homes in the cities. But it's not going to happen because the government hasn't built any roads, sewage pipes ect. The people can only do so much. Infrastructure must be built.

Let the private sector compete, provide airline service like the rest of the developed world. In modern economies, there is no need for a gov't to own an airline.

Private sector = Functional and less corrupt

Public Sector/Govt = Non-Functional and corrupt.

Somalia is a country carried by it's private sector. So privately run airlines is to be expected.

The robust aviation industry is kinda of a success story in it of itself, if you think about it.

Competing prices and more airlines will give heightened chances of one succeeding. Although if we are being frank, these airlines themselves and how high their ceiling of success is depends on who’s running the country. The Somali passport and travel restrictions for both citizens and non citizens is getting worse and worse. With Italy banning our visa’s just a week ago due to this corrupt administration. The corruption needs to be dealt with otherwise what somalia has will always we squandered.

I’d prefer one big airline company to be honest. I think we’ve seen companies try to compete with each other (Daallo vs Juba) and it just ends up being mid vs mid.

Ideally what i think they should do is create is a federation for it with the historical Somali Airline playing a central role.

Yeah you are right. It's the governmental system they placed that's making things corrupt. I made thread the few about civic reconstruction, give it a read. https://www.somalispot.com/threads/...-a-somali-civic-identity.172633/#post-4155408
