The SCAA also expressed frustration over Ethiopian Airlines’ recent actions, including removing Somali destination names from its systems, which the SCAA believes undermines Somalia’s sovereignty
Somalia has issued a warning to suspend all Ethiopian Airlines flights to its territory as the Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) announced on August 21, 2024, that the airline has failed to respond to concerns related to Somali sovereignty. The ongoing territorial dispute between the two countries is now taking a new turn.
Ethiopia signed an agreement in January 2024 with the separatist region of Somaliland, securing access to 20 kilometers of Somaliland’s coastline for 50 years in exchange for recognizing the territory. Somalia views this deal as a direct violation of its sovereignty, heightening tensions between the two countries.
