Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are reaching out to the global community with an ambitious and heartfelt goal: to raise £1,000,000 to purchase a BoeingA320 aircraft carrying 150-200 passengers. This isn't just about purchasing an aircraft; it's about reviving Somali Airlines, a symbol of national pride and a beacon of hope for a brighter future.
A Glorious Past, A Promising Future
Somali Airlines began its operations in July 1964, primarily serving domestic destinations before expanding to international routes the following year. In 1977, the Somali government fully acquired the airline. Somali Airlines proudly operated Boeing 720Bs, Boeing 707-300s, and Airbus A310-300s, connecting Somalia to the Middle East and Europe. Unfortunately, the airline ceased operations in the early 1990s due to the outbreak of civil war and the ensuing anarchy.
Today, Somalia is on the cusp of an economic resurgence. With efforts to combat extremism and restore peace, our nation is experiencing a remarkable transformation. The revival of Somali Airlines will be a powerful symbol of this new era, attracting tourism and fostering economic growth.
Why We Need Your Support
National Pride: Owning our own plane will rekindle a sense of national pride and unity, showing the world that Somalia is ready to soar again.
Economic Growth: A national airline is crucial for economic development. It will facilitate trade, tourism, and international cooperation.
Job Creation: Reviving Somali Airlines will create jobs and provide training opportunities for our youth, helping to build a skilled and motivated workforce.
Global Connectivity: With a national carrier, we can better connect Somalia to the world, fostering cultural exchange and international understanding.
