# Airports and airstrips of Bari and Nugaal > Every recorded airport and airstrip in Bari and Nugaal (Puntland): Bosaso, Garowe, Qardho, Iskushuban, Eyl, Qandala, Caluula, Xaafuun and more. Source page: https://calankii.com/en/infrastructure/airstrips-bari-and-nugaal/ Last checked: 2026-11-13 Publisher: Calankii (https://calankii.com) ## About this list The rows below join three open registers: **OurAirports**, a public database of airfields with codes and runways ([OurAirports, Somalia](https://ourairports.com/countries/SO/airports.html)); **GeoNames**, the world gazetteer, whose feature codes mark airfields, airports and abandoned airfields ([GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/)); and **Wikidata** ([Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/)). Where two registers place a field within 4 km of each other they are shown as one row. Heights from OurAirports are in feet; from GeoNames in metres. The Somali name in brackets is the Wikidata label. Runway figures come from OurAirports unless the text says otherwise. ## The two main airports - **Bosaso:** [Bender Qassim International Airport](/en/infrastructure/bosaso-airport/), reopened in January 2016 after an Italian-funded runway rebuild. - **Garowe:** [General Mohamed Abshir International Airport](/en/infrastructure/garowe-airport/), opened in 2010, with a [Kuwait](/en/diaspora/kuwait/) Fund runway project. ## The smaller fields **Iskushuban.** The airstrip (CMS, HCMS) has unpaved but marked runways that are unusually wide, at over 550 feet (168 m) ([Wikipedia, Iskushuban Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iskushuban_Airport)). **Eyl.** The airstrip (HCME) serving the old coastal town of Eyl in Nugaal is at 879 feet (268 m), with a 1,050-metre runway ([Wikipedia, Eyl Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyl_Airport)); OurAirports describes it as graded earth. **[Qandala](/en/regions/qandala/) (Candala).** An airstrip (CXN, HCMC) open to the public, 9 feet above sea level, with one natural-surface runway of 3,579 feet (1,091 m) ([Wikipedia, Candala Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candala_Airport)). **[Caluula](/en/regions/caluula/) (Alula).** The airstrip (ALU, HCMA) serves the [Gulf of Aden](/en/relations/yemen/) town of Caluula; the runway lies about half a kilometre inland, parallel to the shore ([Wikipedia, Alula Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alula_Airport)). **Xaafuun ([Hafun](/en/history/ancient-port-of-opone-ras-hafun/)).** OurAirports lists two strips on the Xaafuun peninsula: a coastal strip (HCBA) and the "Old Base" strip (HCBG) to the east ([OurAirports, SO-0004](https://ourairports.com/airports/SO-0004/); [OurAirports, SO-0005](https://ourairports.com/airports/SO-0005/)). **Old and abandoned fields.** OurAirports records the old Bosaso airport as closed. GeoNames marks two abandoned airfields near Meeladeen and lists strips at Dudo and at a site it names "Conoco" in Nugaal ([GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388814)).
