Mogadishu, Somalia – In a significant move reflecting the government’s commitment to empowering local businesses, Favori LLC, the operator of Mogadishu’s Aden Adde International Airport, has entered into a partnership with SKYWAY, a Somali-owned company, to manage all general cleaning services at the country’s busiest aviation hub.
The agreement follows a directive from the Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia aimed at expanding opportunities for Somali enterprises in strategic national facilities. Under the new arrangement, SKYWAY will oversee the day-to-day cleaning operations across terminals, lounges, and common areas, ensuring the airport maintains international standards of cleanliness and safety.
The initiative marks a step forward in fostering public-private collaboration and promoting Somali-led participation in critical service sectors. Favori’s decision to entrust a local company with this key operational function underscores growing confidence in the capabilities of Somali firms to meet global benchmarks in service delivery.
For SKYWAY, the partnership represents both a business opportunity and a national duty—to uphold the image of Somalia’s main gateway to the world. The company is expected to introduce modern cleaning technologies, staff training programs, and robust hygiene protocols in line with global airport management standards.
The move also aligns with the government’s broader economic empowerment agenda, which seeks to prioritize Somali talent, create sustainable employment, and strengthen the role of domestic companies in rebuilding the nation’s economy.
As passengers and airlines continue to return to Aden Adde International Airport in increasing numbers, the collaboration between Favori and SKYWAY symbolizes a renewed vision of national pride and self-reliance—one built on trust, professionalism, and a shared commitment to excellence.
