Dhaqane Airline: why we built a regional East African carrier

The Horn of Africa deserves an airline that shows up on time, charges honest fares, and treats every passenger like a neighbour, because most of them are. Dhaqane Airline was founded in 2010 to be exactly that. We started with one aircraft, a clear network, and a team that had been in regional aviation long enough to know what should change. Sixteen years on, that discipline still anchors how we fly: the routes that matter, grown carefully, region first.

Network

Our network: six airports, real demand

Our network runs through Mogadishu (MGQ) and connects to Nairobi (NBO), Hargeisa (HGA), Garowe (GGR), Kismayo (KMU), and Baraawe (BSY). It is deliberately focused. We would rather fly six routes reliably than 30 routes unreliably. As our fleet grows, we add destinations where the demand is real and the operational case is solid, not before.

Operations

Fokker 70 and Fokker 50: the right aircraft for our region

Dhaqane Airline operates two aircraft types. The Fokker 70 is a twin-engine regional jet, well suited to the short, busy sectors that define our scheduled network. The Fokker 50 is a twin-turboprop, lighter on fuel and tougher on the short, rough runways most jets find awkward. Both types are right-sized for the demand on our routes. Safety is not a later chapter. Our Safety Management System, crew training regimen, and maintenance planning are set to the standards a larger carrier would run, because that is the only kind of airline we are interested in running.

Guide

How to book: travel agencies, WhatsApp, and our online widget

You can book a Dhaqane flight three ways: through one of our authorised travel agencies, by contacting us on WhatsApp or email, or by using the search widget on dhaqaneairline.com and completing your booking with our reservations team. There is no separate online check-in yet; check-in is handled at the counter by our staff, which is fine when your itinerary is as focused as ours.
