Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) today welcomed a high-level delegation from the Federal Republic of Somalia, led by the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, Hon. Mohamed Farah Nuh, for discussions aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in the aviation sector.

The visiting delegation, which included Somalia’s Ambassador to Tanzania, H.E. Ilyas Ali Hassan, held talks with TCAA Director General, Mr. Salim Msangi, and senior management at the Authority’s headquarters in Dar es Salaam.

During the meeting, both sides exchanged views on potential areas of collaboration, particularly in aviation training, technical support, and regulatory experience sharing. The dialogue underscored a mutual interest in improving aviation safety, capacity, and regional connectivity.

Mr. Msangi commended Somalia’s efforts to engage regional partners and reaffirmed Tanzania’s readiness to support initiatives that build stronger, safer skies across the region. “TCAA remains committed to fostering collaboration that promotes sustainable aviation development both within and beyond our borders,” he said.

Hon. Nuh, in his remarks, expressed gratitude for the hospitality extended by the TCAA team and noted that Somalia is keen to benefit from Tanzania’s experience in aviation oversight and institutional development. “There is much we can learn from Tanzania’s progress, and we look forward to building a long-term partnership,” he said.

The visit marks a step forward in regional aviation cooperation and reflects growing momentum toward shared development goals in East Africa’s air transport sector.
