The strategic gathering brought together key officials and aviation experts to discuss safety protocols and operational efficiency across Jubaland’s airports.
The meeting was chaired by the Deputy Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation of Jubaland, Mohamed Abdi Salad, and attended by the Ministry’s Director General, Sacid Abdullahi Macalin, Airport Security Chief Mohamed Hayi Bader, and representatives from various departments within the ministry.
