The Minister of Transport in the Sanaa government, Abdulwahab Yahya Al-Durra, announced that “The first commercial flight from Sanaa airport, since the beginning of the armistice, will depart to Jordan Monday.”
Al-Durra pointed out that “The commercial flight will operate Monday, to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and will return on the same day, via Yemenia Airways.”
The minister denied “the existence of any impediment or decision from the United Nations that prevents the continuation of commercial flights from Sanaa airport permanently without linking them to the humanitarian truce… especially since the United Nations inspects and monitors commercial flights.”
Earlier, Al-Durra reiterated the technical and professional readiness of Sanaa International Airport to launch all civil and commercial flights.
Al-Durra indicated that Sanaa Airport provides air navigation services to United Nations aircraft, in addition to the UN’s affiliated organizations and international humanitarian organizations operating in Yemen on a daily basis. The services are provided by qualified Yemeni cadres certified by UN staff and international humanitarian organizations who make frequent check-ins at the airport.
