Bender Qassim International Airport, identified by IATA code BSA and ICAO code HCMF, serves Bosaso, the commercial capital of the semi-autonomous Puntland region in northeastern Somalia. It is one of the busiest airports in Somalia by passenger volume, reflecting Bosaso's role as a major trading hub on the Gulf of Aden. The airport handles both scheduled domestic and limited international flights, connecting Bosaso to other Somali cities as well as destinations in the broader Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It plays a critical role in the region's economy, supporting trade, humanitarian operations, and diaspora travel. Despite its importance, the airport operates with limited modern infrastructure and has been subject to ongoing development efforts aimed at expanding its capacity and improving safety standards.
