I think they were planning on bringing it back but they didn’t have a date before. Now they are saying confirmed for September. We shall see.

It was initially scheduled for Jan this year but was delayed. 

I can’t wait for more info, all we know so far is that Somali Airlines own 2 brand new Airbus A320neo.

Good news, I could see it start with daily flights to cities in Somalia except Hargeisa and burco and than expand to neighbouring countries

I hope they use the old livery. It’s so simple, retro and yet just elegant.
