MOGADISHU Airport has re-opened after an 11-year shut down. The city,
considered one of the most dangerous places in the world, is under the
jurisdiction of the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) which controls much
of southern Somalia. Jubba Airlines is now offering flights to Dubai
and Jeddah, and to Bossaso in Somalia. Previously Jubba, a locally
owned airline operated out of Balidogle, 70 miles northwest of
Mogadishu, requiring a nerve-racking car or coach journey through the
desert. Jubba operates the YAK 42 Russian-built aircraft.
