MOGADISHU, (HAN) — The Egyptian cargo airline Sky Vision has made its second flight to Mogadishu within just 24 hours, arriving from the Bulgarian city of Burgas. The flight, which landed earlier yesterday at Aden Adde International Airport, comes amid growing diplomatic and defense engagements between Somalia and Egypt.
This sudden series of flights comes three days after a high-level meeting between the defense ministers of Somalia and Egypt, held in Mogadishu. While the specific nature of the cargo has not been officially disclosed, analysts suggest that it could involve military equipment, logistical support, or humanitarian supplies, given the timing and frequency of the trips.
Airport officials confirmed that all cargo procedures were conducted under tight security measures. They emphasized that the operation reflects Somalia’s commitment to strengthening its international partnerships and improving the efficiency of its air transport logistics.
Observers note that the repeated flights signal a potential increase in bilateral cooperation between Somalia and Egypt, especially in defense, trade, and infrastructure development. This development comes at a time when Somalia is actively seeking foreign support to enhance national security and regional stability.
Local media and civil society organizations have expressed interest in monitoring these flights closely, urging transparency regarding their purpose and contents to ensure that such engagements benefit Somali citizens and national interests.
The arrival of Sky Vision marks a rare occurrence of Bulgarian-Egyptian cargo flights to Mogadishu, reflecting a shift toward more structured and frequent international air links for the Somali capital.
