Interesting project! Good to hear it. Any date for the completion of the project?

No walaal, no such info can be found on the net, but Turkish Airlines intends to start flights next month, and a team of engineers is already busy renovating the airport:

Turkish Airlines to start Mogadishu flights in 2012

DUBAI — The Turkish Airlines this week said it will add flights to and from the Somali capital at the beginning of January in 2012 as it tries to draw more African passengers.

Turkish Airlines (THY) CEO Temel Kotil told Anatolia news agency that THY will fly to Mogadishu twice-daily. The announcement follows as the government of Turkey deployed engineers to renovate and modernize the airport in Mogadishu. - Source (http://somalilandpress.com/turkish-airlines-to-start-mogadishu-flights-in-2012-25311)

Finally, the rendering that was not shown in this picture book has been revealed. :laugh:

I have high optimism for this project and I look forward to updates!

It is a wait and see at the moment. Strong Turkey-Somali economic link will benefit Both sides.

Unreliable source

Unreliable source

Why?

Any updates on this project? I'm hearing from an unreliable sources that their will be a brand new international airport somewhere in between the town of Balcad and Mogadishu. Apparently the Turks decided to abandon the current airport because of lack of space.

I've heard that as well, but we need someone on the ground to confirm it. or get access to that book with construction renders, the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey once showed briefly.

A brand new airport would be great though, we could turn the entire Airport area into an aviation city, with multiple airports, long runways, various headquarters of airline companies including Somali Airlines, as well as training facilities, military facilities, civilian aviation hubs, etc.

I have not seen any major construction taking place except few minor touches here and there.

If they were to build one there, the roads need to be improved as well. The upside of the current location is that it's in the city.

The current location of the airport is not favourable to any extension of the runway, buildings or other facilities as it is right on the sea shore on the one side, and next to heavily built up areas of Mogadishu city on the other. It is either a case of many many properties being demolished and some districts of the city being cleared, or just building a new airport just outside the city.

This is an aerial picture of the current airport location.

That's actually a downside. If it's a short-term upgrade you're talking about, the current location is fine. But if it's a long-term upgrade, and you're expecting major traffic and commerce, then they have to find a new location to build it.

I frankly find the current airport more than adequate for the near future. Even with that map above, with major readjustments, a second runway can be built.

Why an extension of the runway in Mogadishu? At 4500m it's already the largest in East Africa, in-fact the two largest runways in the region are based in Somalia (the other being the Berbera Airport). South Africa, the biggest aviation hub on the continent doesn't have a runway exceeding 4900m at the moment, and they have alot of traffic. I rather see some room being made for the Turks and the new goverment to construct a completely new modern airport at the 'Nr 1' spot of your map, and transform the whole area into an aviation city with smaller runways at certain places.

I mean the current airport right now is unique because of its length built since it was used as a space shuttle emergency landing spot, but the space shuttle has been retired and airport has no more uses to NASA who i believe were also contributing money on the runway's maintenance. Mogadishu deserves a new airport just outside the city gates where there is land to accommodate such a task as building a new airport, which will include several 5 to 3 star hotels, convention centers, Shopping centers etc.. While the airport inside the city should be converted to a full cargo center hauling all kinds of freight to and from somalia and may hosts the cities future airforce base

While the airport inside the city should be converted to a full cargo center hauling all kinds of freight to and from somalia and may hosts the cities future airforce base

That might actually be a good idea considering that this airport is so close to the port and the need for transporting cargo and freight will grow exponentially as recovery begins.

As far as Im aware Mogadishu airport was never used as an emergency lading site... that would have been Berbera in the north of the country which has the longst runway in Africa.

Oh i perceived since of its length it was used as a emergency landing spot for the Shuttle?? Probably it was built for the Soviets who also had a space shuttle??

Indeed...

Not as far as im aware... it was only ever Berbera that could be used as an emergency landing runway for NASA. As ive noted before, Mogadishu airport was/is too close to heavily built up areas to be suitable for emergency landing of shuttles... whereas Berbera, is not so much.

I saw from facebook Turkish-Somali Chamber of Commerce, this airport will be built sometime 2014 since am guessing because the airport is getting more and more crowded with 100's of people coming in and out everyday from 10 different commercial flights. Aden Adde airport at the moment is too small for a city will 3 million people.

I'm not sure if this is the expansion you are talking about. The renders are not that great, but here's some information. I've got this from Turkish websites.

Somali Minister of Transport Mohamed Osman Ali Aden Abdulle International Airport signed an agreement for the construction and operation.

Services within the airport includes all kinds of business and operational activities. In addition, ground handling, security, cargo terminal, all kinds of complementary services, such as passenger services, as well as the Somali State Economic Enterprise in partnership with the fuel supply is also included. VIP in service at the airport, to the separation of the outer lines and inner lines, night landings and registration of international port will be providing 24-hour service.

The airport expansion project will cost $ 10 million. Construction work is scheduled for completion by the end of the year to begin March 15. The contractor will operate in partnership for a period of 10 +10 years. (20 yr contract not allowed)

So the question is while Aden Adde airport is being built which airport will people be using then in the meantime?


The same one cuz the runway will be free to use they will the demolish the old ugly terminal hall and build this new one,it will be like those province airports before the terminal construction are over.

seems this terminal is very tiny compare international standard. But I think they want to use for temporary , while the bigger airport is planed to be build outside of Mogadishu. current airport " Aden Ade international airport is dipping within city residential area, due that reason some airlines have already giving up to land east side of the run way, because the belly of aircraft is very close top of residential roofs or somehow security reason, some someone can easily shot the aircraft. I don't think they want to spend lot of money to build major airport at current location, However, I do believe they are waiting until the traffic of the airport is grown as well as national airline "Somali airline is back and revived in order to become hub the new terminal which has been planed long time ago . But for now let it goooooooo. Out dated Ugly Italian built Terminal which is being operational since 1958.

wow.. Thanks Talya.. Any idea where the new extension terminal is going to be built..? west side of the airport near Halane military school or is North east side near Afasiyooni ? interest.. This airport really need to be upgrade specially additional taxiway is more important because when the aircraft landed, it taxis back the same runway..too bad

http://www.haberler.com/haber-resimleri/606/somali-ye-turk-firma-havalimani-yapacak-4285606_o.jpg



I saw that render on Facebook, it looks way too small, like a bus station. But I guess it's good for now.

Very very nice I like the terminal

A A sxb the new terminal is not an extension it will be the only terminal for the comings years.it will be build exact at the same place where the current one is located.The old one will be demolished and this new one will come in.i am happy that the ugly old Italian terminal will be gone for good. :banana:

Xusein it is actually 2 times bigger than what we now have. the new terminal will cover an area of 1,495 m2 which is enough for the next years to come.and not to forget it will have all the services that an International Airport should have :cheers:

I understand. if the current building is taken down. Where they would operate during construction period. They need an amenities to process the passengers's arrivals and departures ,but what I am thinking is.. They will not demolish the current building until the new one is become operational.

They have too sxb! how will they be able to build the new terminal is the old one is in his way lol the current one has no function anyway it is just an Hall with no Radar.plus the Aden Adde Airport has no other space to built and extra terminal so the old one will have to go.the airplanes needs only a runway and place to park that is all,and that will be no problem so the airport and the building on the new terminal can go on at the same time.

Excellent update, Aden Adde will handle between 2 million to 4 million passengers annually in the next five years, this project will enable such growth. The grey colour scheme however should be changed to a pearly white, or a creamy beige because it would compliment the dominant colours in the city. I also think something referencing historic architecture of Somalia for the interior design would give the new terminal a distinct and unique character. (See the Marrakech Train Station)

Something like the interior of the old Somali Museum would be beautiful.

Just look at that detail. Stunning.

I wish were more Hollywood minded, and with that I mean; making sure every building - commercial and governmental -, every neighbourhood, every street corner is fit for the silver-screen. This type of mentality would create a return to a strong maintainance culture, and every Tom, Dalmar and Haji would think twice about greenlighting architectural eyesores.

How much does it handle now? Anyone know?

This new airport in question will be built on what was then Ciseleey Air Strip just outside Northern Mogadishu. It is regionally part of Middle Shabelle Region and is part of Balcad District. The working name right now is Mogadishu Airport, but theres a big possibility that once its done that the name will be changed to Aden Abdulle International Airport and the old one will gradually become a fully fledged military facility and even perhaps the future base for the Somali Air Force.

after that there is a plan for the big one (150 million dollar) to be built between Balcad and Xamar.it will have the Name Adan Adde International Airport.but that is long term project maybe after 5 years.

Result

The Small one in Mogadishu will handle the domestic flights in the future

and the big one outside Mogadishu will handle the International flights

but before that the next 5 or maybe 10 years we will have

this one

Operating as Domestic and International Airport:cheers:

The airport between Balcad & Mogadishu is Cisileey & work has already been started. This airport will eventually become the main airport serving Mogadishu area. I don't know where you get this domestic & international flights from.

As far as the current Adan Cade International Airport is concerned, when you say demolished what are you exactly talking about? If its newer terminals, that's plausible but capacity upgrade of the airport is already in progress. I will upload some pics later today to show you what I mean.

However, I can categorically state that once the new airport is built outside Mogadishu, the current one will cease to function as a civilian airport.

True. According to their website, this project was designed to increase the current airport's capacity to handle the significant grown in passenger numbers.

Was just checking the Turkish site on The new Aaden Adde Terminal. so basically if it can handle 5000p a day that will make a total of 1.8 million passengers a year.which is all right for now as we are in recovery.

BTW can the mods change the title topic to New Aden Adde Terminal $10m expansion.

current estimation about Mogadishu's airport for daily passengers activities is appraised 1700 passengers per day. Juba airways has two flights per day with total 530 passengers per day for inbound and outbound flights, African airways has one flight per day bringing about 150 passengers, plus two other charter flights bringing 250 passengers per day, thus Turkish airline has two flights per week bringing 650 passenger per week. Mogadishu airport didn't reach yet to handle 5000 passengers per day.. Insha alaah it will come soon when Somali airline back in service.. I heard Ethiopian airline has asked Somali government for open sky to flight Mogadishu even though they have flight in Hargerysa..

Haa sxb There is a plan to add Ethiopian Airlines,Kenya Airways,and weekly Emirates Arilines to Abu Dhabi .but that is all after the new Terminal will be build end of this year.

^^ Source please. Having those airlines would be huge news.

^^ Source please. Having those airlines would be huge news.

What i heard is there will be a soon a Summit in Dubai to talk about this project both weekly fights and Cargo.but that will start after the new Terminal is ready.:) i am delighted with the Cargo flights. cuz 80% of Somalia import comes from UEA it will give a huge boost to the economy.


The new Aden Adde Terminal includes a cargo terminal too.:banana:

Sxb First of all i have the info exact from the Cetin GROUP who are give the contract to build the new Terminal.second of all who told you that Adan Adde Airport is in middle of the city?!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT. third have u ever seen an AIRPORT build with $10m? lolz.maybe u should look for Info direct from the Turkish sites.There is no New Airport for (NOW) this project is to build a new Terminal.Mogadishu Airport Has one of the longest Runway in the region and it can handle any kind of aircraft.all it needed was a Modern Terminal with 24/7 services. which the Turks will deliver starting 15 March till end of 2013.


Maybe you are talking about some other project lol.but this thread is about the $10m project,this one
http://82.222.152.134/imgsdisk/arsiv/150804.jpg




if u still insist with your theory.then i guess we agree to disagree sxb. lets not make a discussion arena down here.

Info

http://www.aksam.com.tr/guncel/somaliye-turk-firma-havalimani-yapacak/haber-162839

Lets agree to disagree, bro.

Yes that is what i hear from a friend of mine who is in the Lobby group for the new airport.150$ million one will be build between Mogadisho and Balcad.this new one is just for maybe the next 5 years after that it willl go further as a Cargo airport.but is big enough for the next 4 or 5 years as it has the capacity to handle 5000 persons a day:cheers:

This! lol, we are basically in agreement, no idea why we are differing!

This! lol, we are basically in agreement, no idea why we are differing!


We are not cuz you are confusing two different projects :) sxb

As for now the Government and the CETIN GROUP has signed a contract for this
http://82.222.152.134/imgsdisk/arsiv/150804.jpg

A new Terminal which will cost $10m and will be ready by the end of 2013.


as for the Balcad/Xamar i also heard some about that but as for now there is no any Contract for that one maybe in the future but not now.


So dont mix the two projects bro

as i said the Render is for the new Terminal in Aden Adde Airport.that is what this Thread is all about.

The contract for the new airport has already been signed. If you notice, Radio Mogadishu and all the other Somali websites mention the new airport with regards to the renderings you have provided. As I said, this idea of a new terminal at an airport that will eventually be decommissioned does not make much sense. The contract signed by Minister Kaalmooy with the Turks has been presented on SNTV and other media outlets as being for the new airport outside Mogadishu. It is only the Turkish website that says Mogadishu which could be a mistake on their part.

However, if you go back to my very initial comment on this thread, I was speaking precisely on the question of the new airport. My comments had nothing to do with this specific terminal that you allege will be built on Adan Abdulle International. I have been to Adan Cade Airport recently and let me tell you, if you demolish the current terminal, there will simply be no where else for people to land unless you are suggesting they go straight from the runway and into the city. Let's exercise logic when we discuss these sorts of things.

Oke your logic is that is possible to Build an AIRPORT with $10m looooolz so now you are telling me that the Turkish Company site is WRONG too!!!!! so u know more that the Company self.hahahahaha.

We agree to Disagree

let us not spam the thread walaalkiis.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves guys and wait when the actual project starts.

As Somalians our priority is the rebuild the infrastructure,Airports,Sea ports.Expressways,Highways.Schools,Hospitals.we should not forget we are 22 behind the other countries in the region!!! we have to walk first before we can run.but Insha Allah with in a couple of years Somalia Airlines will be back ^^

Actually there was a plan to restart the Somali Airlines with fundings & equipment coming from certain Arab countries & Turkey providing the training & infrastructure. This was during President Sheikh Sharif government. Not sure what the current government's plan is.

My personal view is that the government should not involve itself in the aviation sector or any other commercial sector for that matter. Let the private market handle it. Already Jubba Airways, Daalo Airlines & other Somali Airlines are operational. Government should facilitate the growth of these private companies.

Exactly 20 decades behind means we must work double of what we have missed and destroyed! I really want to see the citizens working and paying tax and then see their own tax being used to rebuild the country's infrastructure, security, education, health etc this will really teach them that the country belongs to them and only them can build it as they wish. Its all practical but a long term advantage. For example to this day many people from our parents generations are very grateful that they had free education before the civil war. They didn't thought it was big deal back then but now they now how important it is to have functional state and its benefits that come with it. Like Janet Jackson said "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" :)

Very well said^^ There is project which is being cared by the Government and Minister Dr Maryan Qaasim to build 72 basis schools in 72 county's all across the country which will provide free Education.as the old Somali Proverb says: Aqoon la aan waa iftin la aan. Alexia we sometimes tend to forget that Somalia needs to catch 22 lost years up!!!

After 3 week (15 March) the construction of the new Terminal will begin.waxaan kuu faraxsanahay in oo End of this year aanan mar danbe lagu arki doonin SKA borders in our International Airport!!!! iyo Management serious ah in ee Terminalka Cusub kaa shaqeyn doona.waayo hadda waa total Chaos qof walba meesha uu rabo ayuu maraa lol.

The major new important addictions besides the New Terminal are:

Ground Handling
Security
Passenger Services
In check Lockets
Fuel supply
24/7 services
separation of the outer lines and inner lines
Cargo Terminal
VIP section for Statesmen or Investors
Registration port.

Masha Allah cant wait to see it.

It's very difficult to expand the current airport, I can't think of a scenario which it would work. It's in the city already, maybe it should be kept as a city airport for regional flights, and the money should be spent on a site at the outskirts of Mogadishu for international flights.

■ SOMALIA: Construction of new terminal at Mogadishu's Aden Abdulle International Airport to begin this week.

This week (15 March), Turkish construction firms Çetin Group and Kozuva will begin building the new Turkish sponsored air terminal at Mogadishu's Aden Abdulle International Airport, following the signing of a deal in late January.


Joint Turkey/Somali contract signing
ceremony in January (Bügun)
The result of negotiations initiated by the Turkish Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance and their Somali counterparts, the new USD10million dollar facility will replace the current terminal and will handle 5'000 passengers per day (1.8million per annum) and 15 aircraft simultaneously (60 movements per day).

The project will be realized under a Build-Operate-Transfer model backed by Favori LLC, a consortium of Turkish construction firms Çetin Group and Kozuva with USD3million capital, that will provide for the construction and subsequent management (including security) at the future terminal. The contract is set to last for a combined duration of 20 years, but will be reviewed after 10, as Somali law does not permit concessions to be held for periods greater than 10 years.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZK7yVbdEkHE/UTzNhlBKoWI/AAAAAAAADeY/pvruOCU9Plc/s320/diini+garoon+(1).jpg

he new terminal will have provision for various services including commercial shops, ground handling, security, a cargo terminal, VIP facilities and a fuel depot to be co-managed with the Somali State Economic Enterprise. The airport's basic infrastructure will also be upgraded to permit night flights, thereby allowing Mogadishu to operate 24hours a day. Thus far, a new security perimeter at the airport has been built, also with Turkish funding.

It is unclear how a current 10 year contract signed in September 2010 between Somalia's then transitional government and Dubai-based SKA Air & Logistics, to manage the current airport's terminal, security, screening, passenger security will be affected by the Turkish deal.

^^ A 20 year contract is far too long, especially for a $10m dollar investment (which, to be honest, is measly amount of capital by international aviation industry standards). The market demand for air travel and transport will have significantly increased in 20 years time. The contract should have been made a 10 year contract, such a deal would have been far more reasonable; this would still give the company plenty of time to have made a more than adequate return on investment. But the current arrangement was penned undoubtedly due to the fact that the [Turkish] company had a far greater bargaining power to set the terms of the deal.

True bro^^ but still we should be very happy that at the end of 2013 we will have a small but organized Modern Terminal with 24/7 hours service in Xamar.

I am sure once the transport increases in the next 5 or 10 year the new government will have a new plan for it.

as for now it is a welcome investment^^

^^ I agree. Unideal but necessary.

The site will be up soon.

So its called Mogadishu Airport and not Aden Adde International Airport???? why they change the whole name?

Alexia i am not Sure but people have been telling me that new Aden International will be build between Balcad and Mogadisho but not now. it is long term project 10-15 years from now on.and this new terminal will be a sort of transit to that main goal.

But it will be good for the next 5-10 years as the city is recovering.after that it will go futher as Cargo Airport.

That is why the name change.this one will have Mogadishu Airport as a name.

Mogadishu airport is huge they should just
build another runway a move the actual terminal
back acouple of 100 meters and hey persto its enough to
host more people if the terminal is build bigger, also another airport
airport in between balcad and mogadishu
should be used as nairobi wislon airport an airport for domestic flights
and aden adde airport should be used as a Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Air traffic controllers?

Air traffic controllers?

Haa, 10 arday Soomali ah ayaa hadda tababar uga socdo Ankara iyo Istanbul.

Mogadishu is regenerating fast.

I was wondering that currently the airport gets 40 flights per day and this expansion will be to 60 flights per day to 1.8m approx passengers a year, if the current flights are already at 40 when it is overwhelmingly diaspora returnees alone then the expansion might not be able to cater for the real influx of even the next two years!

I wont hide the fact that I am extremely underwhelmed, and I hope that the goverment has not signed any agreement that might delay the construction of a new airport with P/P operators of this one, even the renders are a crap sandwich, seriously how did a figure of only $10 million be reached with an open tender it could have easily garnered a $30 - 40 million expansion as is!!

Any updates??
