Английская Википедия:Abudwak Airport
Abudwak Airport (Шаблон:Lang-so), is an airport serving Abudwak and nearby residents including across border, a highly populated town in the central Galguduud region of Somalia. It is also known as Caabudwaaq Airport.
Overview
The airport was formerly just a dirt airstrip near the town of Abudwak.
A major renovation project was later launched in 2011, funded by Somali expatriates from the province.[1] In June 2012, the Somali-American Women's Foundation (SAWF) also contributed $70,000 toward the facelift, after the airport's rehabilitation committee had approached it.[2]
The airstrip was gravelized by July 2012, and a new building was built by January 2013.
According to a government official, all of the facility's sections have since been renovated and are available for use. However, the immigration wing is still being built as of October 2012.[1]
The new airport began scheduled flights on 11 October 2012.[1]
The airport serves an average of 2 flights per day, and 800 passengers per month. In February 2021, more gravel was added to the runway and graded, as preparation for it to be paved with asphalt concrete.[3]
