Research & Innovation

Building knowledge that strengthens aviation safety, regulation and management in Somalia and the region.
Our Commitment

Knowledge that serves the aviation community

Innovation and leadership are at the core of our objectives. The Faculty of Civil Aviation encourages students and staff to investigate the real challenges facing aviation — from safety oversight and air traffic management to regulation, security and the role of women in the industry — and to turn that knowledge into practical solutions.
Through seminars, expert-led trainings and close collaboration with the Somali Civil Aviation Authority, we connect academic inquiry with the needs of the sector.
