On October 9, 2019, Kenya responded to a complaint filed by Somalia at the UN aviation agency, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), claiming Nairobi had violated Mogadishu's airspace.

The alleged airspace violation occurred when a plane left Nairobi and flew directly to Sayid Mohammed Hassan International Airport in Kismayu, the capital of Jubbaland state.

However, officials in Nairobi argue that Somalia is attempting to portray Kenya as a rogue state that doesn't follow rules.
