News - Yemen: Yemen Airlines announced the postponement of operating its first flight through Sana'a International Airport, which was scheduled to depart on Sunday.

The company said in a statement that it had not yet received operating permits for the first flight from Sana’a International Airport to the Jordanian capital, Amman, which was scheduled to launch on Sunday, April 24, at eight am.

It added that a few days ago, the company had booked tickets for passengers on this flight, and the airlines had completed all technical preparations in terms of the plane's arrival and take-off time between Jordan and Sana'a.

The company expressed its deep regret and apology to the travelers  that the US-Saudi aggression did not allow the operation of the first flights from Sana'a International Airport.

The company expressed its hope that all problems will be overcome in the near future and that Yemeni Airlines will be allowed to resume its flights from Sana'a.

In early April, the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced the nationwide ceasefire, for the first time since 2016, saying the two-month truce would be eligible for renewal with the consent of parties.

The truce, meant to halt all military operations in the country and bring the foreign military invasion to an end, came into effect at 07:00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) on April 2.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the truce "must be a first step to ending Yemen’s devastating war," urging the warring parties to build on the opportunity to "resume an inclusive and comprehensive Yemeni political process."

The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen’s lifeline al-Hudaydah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana’a "to predetermined destinations in the region."

The Saudi-led aggression continues to violate the truce by detaining new fuel ships, despite their inspection and obtaining permits from the United Nations, and insisting on the closure of Sana’a Airport. In addition, the fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside. Shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl, including a failed advance carried out by mercenaries towards Army and Popular Committee sites south of Marib.
