Hargeisa Egal International Airport Airport codes|HGA|HCMH ( _so. Madaarka Hargeysa ee Calaamiga) - is an international airport in the city of Hargeisa in the northwestern Somaliland region of Somalia. Hargeisa is Somalia's second largest city while Mogadishu is the largest.

The airport has been rebuilt since 1991 and is now a modern international airport. The airport serves only a few airlines because it is internationally unrecognised with only Ethiopia having foreign links with Somaliland.

The airport was named after the late President of Somaliland Mudane Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal. Moxamed Xaaji Ibraahim Cigaal or Egal was a former Somali prime minister in the early 1960s. Mr. Egal found a new political awakening by becoming the secessionist Somaliland region's first president.

At the height of the Somalia civil war, Hargeisa and surrounding Northern Somali provinces re-organized themselves on clan basis and they declared independent from Somalia although there was no referendum from rest of Somalia.

The "Egal International Airport" has undergone some modernizing and rebuilding with rest of Somaliland regions or country as the locals would like them to be called. However, the airport is still referred to its old and common name "Hargeisa International Airport".
