Aden Adde International Airport (MGQ) in Mogadishu serves as Somalia’s primary international gateway and is typically positioned as the country’s main hub for both government and commercial air traffic. You’ll usually find a mix of regional carriers, occasional international airlines, and charter operators; fares can be higher than nearby regional markets due to limited competition and operational constraints. The airport sits roughly 15–20 km from downtown Mogadishu, with transfers commonly by private car or airport taxi taking around 30–50 minutes depending on security checkpoints and traffic; expect negotiated taxi fares rather than metered rates. Pros: direct connectivity and essential services; cons: variable comfort levels and stricter security procedures that can add time to journeys.
