## Description

On the southern Somali coast, where the Juba River meets the Indian Ocean, Kismayo pairs a seaport with the airport that keeps Jubaland connected. KMU is the region's main air access, mixing commercial flights with relief, UN and military operations. Jubba Airways, African Express and Freedom Airline Express link the city to Nairobi and Mogadishu — the only scheduled destinations at present. Air freight here leans toward humanitarian cargo and belly loads on these regional services, with recent runway and facility upgrades improving capacity. Bulk goods move through Kismayo's seaport, while Somalia's commercial air cargo concentrates at Mogadishu. For forwarders, KMU is a regional feeder weighted toward aid logistics rather than a commercial freight point.
