Imperial Jets gives evacuation assistance in Somalia conflict areas

Imperial Jets, a private jet charter based in New York, is currently assisting in evacuations of out-of-threat areas in Somalia from its office in Tanzania.

The company is securing private aircrafts to extract people from troubled areas of Somaliland and Puntland. The Imperial Jets office in Tanzania has been receiving a considerable amount of calls from people seeking travel out of Somalia.

The US government has issued a warning against trips to Somalia due to the region’s unstable condition. The disputes in the country are rooted to ongoing border disputes and terrorist attacks. Armed groups have expressed their intent to attack aircraft operations in the International Airport of Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia.

Imperial Jets is securing helicopters and jets to fly out stranded people in Somaliland, Puntland, and other undisclosed areas to avoid the International Airport of Mogadishu. Company clients are giving aid to get help to those who need assistance.

“We’re a global company,” said William Gyarfas, Director of Operations for Imperial Jets. “We have an office in East Africa in Tanzania. And we like to think of ourselves as the good guys in the industry. Someone in this world needs our help, we want to help.”
