Somali Airlines suspend all flights due to tax dispute, stranding hundreds of passengers.

Somali Airlines have suspended all domestic and international flights since January 22, 2025, due to a dispute over increased taxes imposed by the government. This action has left hundreds of passengers stranded at airports in Nairobi and Mogadishu. The airlines claim the tax increases are financially burdensome, while the Somali Civil Aviation Authority points to maintenance issues as the cause. No resumption date has been announced as negotiations continue.
