Currently Daallo AirlineÌs employees number 250 employees, coming from diverse backgrounds and cultures, and contributing to rich mix and experience of the flying experience.

Daallo Airlines began operations in 1991 using a single wet-leased Cessna Caravan operating from Djibouti to Hargeisa, Somalia, after the demise of Somali Airlines following the civil war in Somalia. The success of the airline has afforded its expansion to destinations in the Middle East, Europe and other points in central and eastern Africa. DAALLO caters to the VFRÌs, tourists and traders of the Horn of Africa. DAALLO airlineÌs major strength is the strong knowledge of the regionÌs needs, and its investment in its resources has also contributed to its success. The Company has an impressive track record in corporate responsibility, always supporting community projects and programs in regions where it operates. It has participated in relief and medical supply efforts in eastern and central Africa. It also operates flights for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

Daallo Airlines fleet consists of 757-200, 727-200, AN24, with IL76 and AN12 for the cargo operations.
In 2008, DAALLO Airlines entered into a strategic partnership with Istithmar World Aviation Holdings, an investment arm of Dubai World, and the Government of Djibouti to enhance and promote air transportation services in Africa.

The new partnership will focus on developing DAALLO Airlines current routes and networks, expanding to new markets in Africa with the ultimate aim of becoming a premiere carrier in Africa with special focus on the Horn of Africa and COMESA region. All aspects of DAALLO Airlines operations will be significantly improved to ensure a world class service is provided to our customers.

In collaboration with the regional governments, the new venture will contribute significantly to the regionÌs economic development activities by promoting trade and tourism and developing the air transport infrastructure. With the addition of extra capacity (cargo & passenger) on all sectors and the expansion to new markets, the region will benefit from increased flow of people and products which will facilitate closer regional economic integration.

Safety, customer satisfaction, product quality is our goal.

We are proud of our African heritage and believe that it adds a special touch to the comfort and efficiency that characterizes ÎDaallo AirlinesÌ
