Source page: https://calankii.com/en/infrastructure/airstrips-mudug-galguduud-hiiraan/ Last checked: 2026-11-13 Publisher: Calankii (https://calankii.com) ## About this list The rows join **OurAirports** ([Somalia list](https://ourairports.com/countries/SO/airports.html)), the **GeoNames** gazetteer ([GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/)) and **Wikidata** ([Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/)). Fields that two registers place within 4 km of each other are one row. Heights from OurAirports are in feet, from GeoNames in metres; the Somali name in brackets is the Wikidata label. ## Galkayo [Abdullahi Yusuf Airport](/en/infrastructure/abdullahi-yusuf-airport-galkayo/) in north Galkayo has two parallel 3 km strips, one paved. Wikidata also lists an "Oshaco International Airport" serving Galmudug, at the point GeoNames calls "Galkaio South" ([Wikidata, Q38251117](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q38251117)). ## Beledweyne Beledweyne's airport (BLW, HCMN), also called Ugaas Khaliif International Airport and earlier Duqow Ahmed Fiidow airport, is in open country about 2 km north-east of the city. Its only runway, 04/22, is 2,200 by 20 metres of crushed rock and packed sand, at 559 feet above sea level ([Wikipedia, Beledweyne Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beledweyne_Airport)). It reopened for civilian use in June 2012 ([Sabahi, June 2012](http://sabahionline.com/en_GB/articles/hoa/articles/newsbriefs/2012/06/21/newsbrief-07)). The Djibouti Defence Forces had refurbished the strip by February 2015, and the municipality launched a further project that May ([Goobjoog, February 2015](http://goobjoog.com/english/?p=10485); [Goobjoog, May 2015](http://goobjoog.com/english/?p=13484)). Wikipedia states the airport is named after Ugaas Khaliif, an ugaas (traditional leader) of the [Xawaadle](/en/society/xawaadle/) ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beledweyne_Airport)). ## Cabudwaaq (Abudwak) [Cabudwaaq](/en/regions/caabudwaaq/)'s airport began as a dirt strip. A rebuild started in 2011, paid for by people from the area living abroad; in June 2012 the Somali-American Women's Foundation gave $70,000 after the airport committee asked for help. Scheduled flights began on **11 October 2012**, and the airport handled about 2 flights a day and 800 passengers a month. In February 2021 the runway was regravelled and graded ahead of paving ([Wikipedia, Abudwak Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abudwak_Airport), citing [Sabahi](http://sabahionline.com/en_GB/articles/hoa/articles/newsbriefs/2012/07/11/newsbrief-07) and [Sokaab](https://www.sokaab.com/home/view_project?id=16)). The town sits on the Ethiopian border, so the airport also serves nearby settlements across it. ## Cadaado, Dhuusamareeb and Guriceel - **Cadaado (Adado):** IATA AAD, ICAO HCAD. Wikipedia calls it the largest working airport in [Galmudug](/en/states/galmudug/) ([Wikipedia, Adado Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adado_Airport)). - **Dhuusamareeb:** also known as [Ugaas Nuur](/en/people/ughaz-nur-ii/) Airport, serving Galmudug's capital ([Wikipedia, Dusmareb Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusmareb_Airport)); OurAirports gives the code HCDM ([OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/HCDM/)). - **Guriceel:** IATA GUO, a domestic airport ([Wikipedia, Guriel Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guriel_Airport)). ## The coast: Hobyo and Garacad Hobyo's airstrip (CMO, HCMO, also called Obbia) has one 1,100-metre unpaved runway parallel to the coast about 2 km inland, with no fuel storage and no scheduled flights ([Wikipedia, Hobyo Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobyo_Airport)). OurAirports lists a strip at Garacad, where a new port is being built ([OurAirports, SO-0011](https://ourairports.com/airports/SO-0011/); [Wikipedia, Garacad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garacad)). ## Every recorded airfield | Airfield | Town | Codes | Runway | Height | Position | Sources | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Abudwak | | | | 328 m | 6.181, 46.194 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388846) | | Adado Airport (Gegada Diyaaradaha Cadaado) | Adado | AAD / HCAD | | 1001 ft | 6.096, 46.638 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/AAD/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/11497239); [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q25037309); [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adado_Airport) | | Aveno Airfield | | | | 296 m | 4.231, 45.916 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/7929675) | | Bahdo | | | | 209 m | 5.837, 47.215 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388840) | | Bandiiradiey | | | | 342 m | 6.472, 46.994 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388827) | | Beledweyne Airport (Gegada diyaaradaha Beledweyne) | Beledweyne | BLW / HCMN | 04/22 7218 ft Gravel | 559 ft | 4.767, 45.239 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/HCMN/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/6297287); [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12691865); [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beledweyne_Airport) | | Biyocadde | | | | 258 m | 5.064, 45.951 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388816) | | Cabudwaak Airport (Gegada diyaaradaha Caabudwaaq) | | | | | 6.172, 46.418 | [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5015854); [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abudwak_Airport) | | Ceelbuur | | | | 153 m | 4.596, 46.611 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388828) | | Ceeldheer Airport | Ceeldheer | | (closed) | | 3.842, 47.168 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/SO-0012/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388836) | | Dusomareb Airport (Gegada Diyaaradaha Dhuusamareeb) | | HCDM | | 840 ft | 5.472, 46.36 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/HCDM/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388849); [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18206440); [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dusmareb_Airport) | | [Galcaio Airport](/en/infrastructure/abdullahi-yusuf-airport-galkayo/) | Galcaio | GLK / HCMR | 05L/23R 9859 ft ASP; 05R/23L 9859 ft TURF | 975 ft | 6.781, 47.455 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/HCMR/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/7730603) | | Galdogob Airport | | HCGD | | | 6.959, 47.016 | [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137296599) | | Galkaio South | | | | 296 m | 6.692, 47.403 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388839); [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q38251117) | | Garacad Airport | Garacad | | | | 6.877, 49.248 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/SO-0011/) | | Goldogob | | | | 381 m | 7.077, 47.121 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388829) | | Guriel Airport (Gegada diyaaradah Guriceel) | Guriel | GUO | | | 5.317, 45.985 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/SO-0020/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/11497240); [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17060473); [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guriel_Airport) | | Gurueragu South | | | | 318 m | 6.064, 46.092 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388851) | | Harrardera New | | | | 116 m | 4.543, 47.998 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388850) | | Hobyo Airport (Gegada diyaaradaha Hobyo) | Hobyo | CMO / HCMO | | 65 ft | 5.358, 48.515 | [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/airports/HCMO/); [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/7730602); [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11824643); [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobyo_Airport) | | Jalalaqsi | | | | 121 m | 3.378, 45.58 | [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/13388835) | ## Related - [Mudug](/en/regions/mudug/), [Galgaduud](/en/regions/galgaduud/), [Hiiraan](/en/regions/hiiraan/) - [Galmudug](/en/states/galmudug/) and [Hirshabelle](/en/states/hirshabelle/) --- I want to help with this: email hello@calankii.com.
