## Description

Beledweyne Airport (BLW/HCMN) lies about two kilometres north-east of Beledweyne, the capital of Somalia's Hiiraan region. Its single runway 04/22 measures 2,200 by 20 metres with a crushed-rock and packed-sand surface, and is reported as uneven especially along the middle section. There is no scheduled service, cargo terminal or customs facility; the airport matters mainly for humanitarian and charter flights, with the Somali Civil Aviation Authority and UNSOS Aviation building joint aircraft rescue and firefighting capability there since August 2025. Commercial air freight for Somalia is handled at Mogadishu Aden Adde International (MGQ).
