In May 1998, a month after the company had been established, the airline embarked on its first voyage. This represented the first direct flight from Sharjah to Mogadishu since the state-owned Somali Airlines discontinued operations in 1991.^[7]

It also has branches in Somalia, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Uganda.^[7] The airline largely fills the niche vacated by the defunct Somali Airlines and operates domestic passenger and cargo services.^[4] It serves destinations in Somalia including Mogadishu, Bosaso and [[Galkayo],[Hargeisa] ].
