are retarded, didn't you see me saying the airport has just been renovated, the runway has been up graded meaning it longer and more suited to heavy jets. It meets international standards. Take your cuqdad to your clans section
actually just couple month ago it was big corruption scandal about the newly built hargeisa Airports runway. the Ethiopian Airlines suspended their flights to Egal cuz did not meet their safety standards due to poor tarmac runway.
Somaliland regional administration reopened the Hargeisa airport after minor upgrades. At first Ethiopian said the upgrade met its objective but after further studies it has discovered that Hargeisa airport does not meet her safety standards due to poor tarmac runway.
It insisted on resuming its Berbera route until the airport in Hargeisa was probably completed but the aviation minister, who was trying to safe his own face after the failure of the upgrade, insisted on them to use Hargeisa.
Ethiopian said it would not risk its multi-millionaire aircraft nor the safety of its passengers. The two could not reach an agree and as a result, Ethiopian has stopped its flights to Somaliland.
The airport has been going under maintenance for almost a year and the upgrade money was donated by the government of Kuwait. Majority of the funds were locally reported to have been stolen by corrupted officials linked to President Ahmed Silanyo and his immediate family.
so how can bigger turkish planes can land such runway when ethiopian airlens who use much smaller jet planes suspended their flights to hargeisa just after view flights when the Airport were reopen.
