Puntland government to open its third operational airport in garowe

[Bohol]

Does the mountainous terrain affect the journey time?

Nah it is due to lack of road and distance.

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

I agree Hargeisa is very close to Borama (less than 1.5 hours by road) while Berbera is close to Burco. However Ceerigaabo is a different story, it is very far and remote.

Hargeisa to Ceerigaabo 776.6 KM. Jeez that is a long way

Sanaag in general is huge. Bohol to Maydh is nearly 200 km.

9 hours for 500KM is very good compared to 24 hours from Kismayo to Xamar (482KM)

Good stuff, only a matter of time till Garowe becomes somalia's second capital.

That title will always belong to Hargeysa

 

[BenInHer]

That title will always belong to Hargeysa

would be nice, but you can't deny the rapid growth going on in that city.

Mashallah, well done Garowe

How much were these airports, are they too expensive (and need gov) or can private citizens fundraise enough to build them, say in Ceerigaabo (although I heard there were already plans in place).

Bosaso one was built with $10 million. Garowe I think around 5-6 million.

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

@whitehartlane compare Garowe pre 98 to now, yiu seriously cannot deny its emergence as a regional powerhouse. Beforw that it was a glorified watering hole.

Hargeisa and Xamar have been developed for eons

But Hargeisa was destroyed though

Having an airport in erigabo could be difficult because of elevation and maydh has mountains all around. But I'm going there this year to check it out.

Since when did that stop Bosaos kkk. Ceerigaabo already has a airstrip as for Maydh the east side is perfect for a coastal airport since it is flatland.

Yes, Mountainous land doesn't stop, It's actually very beautiful as you can see in Bosasos case mountains, the sea etc.

Beautiful scenery and runaway. Mogadishu airport is also located by the sea.

Landing in Mogadishu is amazing as well, I love airports that are close to the water stunning view.

@SirLancelLord Somaliland only has two airports (Hargeisa and Berbera both in one region aka Waqooyi Galbeed built in Siad Bare era (decades ago) and before that. Puntland built two airports in different regions from scratch within 4 years and the third one coming soon. That is impressive no one can lie.

More airlines go the Somaliland tho, no point building a low quality airport if no airline will come. Business acqument is needed

Indeed more airlines go to Hargeisa but Bosaso is catching up. A lot of flights go there as well. Somaliland economy engine is only confined to Hargeisa area were's Puntland is spread out.
That is much better than having just one city develop.

Lol puntland only has bosaso which is their commercial hub. Somaliland has Berbera, burco, wajaale, which are major trade and commerce centres. Also it would be dumb to build a low quality airport in every town when you can invest in 1 or 2 major airports and build road networks (Somaliland strategy). Also no international airlines or flights go to bosaso, only small Somali airlines.

 

[Cumar]

@Bohol The next Somaliland airport should be built in Ceerigaabo. It's the city that could benefit the most from an Airport due to its remote location.

 

[Cumar]

And congratulations to Reer Garowe on their new airport. I continue to be impressed by the rapid pace of development and economic growth happening there.

Thanks, making that proposal.

Information will be online in a couple months on what is planned for Maydh (the Heart of Somaliland)

Rather than militarily consolidate Sanaag it's more about economic consolidation that's the goal.
