Airports in Somalia

... however, most scheduled airline traffic has moved to K50 Airport, further from the city, for safety.

This airport is 50 km from Mogadishu (hence the name), and is used as an alternative for scheduled airline service because of the danger around Mogadishu's main airport, Aden Adde International Airport (MGQ). It has a single sand runway.

Mogadishu's airport has been closed periodically because of fighting around the city. It last reopened in August 2006, and is still operational.
