News - Yemen: The Director of Sana'a International Airport, Khaled Al-Shayef, confirmed that Aviation officials have suspended international flights, except for one day a week, as a result of popular discontent with the arbitrary measures regarding commercial flights.

"The leadership of the airline company in Aden restricted sales in Sana'a, preventing travelers from obtaining tickets and reservations," he said.

He also pointed out that stopping the issuance of tickets and reservations from Sana'a and the governorates is a waste of time and money, and would double the suffering of travelers.

The director of Sana'a Airport added that instead of increasing the number of flights and its destinations, we were surprised by new restrictions affecting travelers and patients.

Earlier he has explained that "We are about to pass a year after the truce, and Sana'a International Airport is still closed to civilian flights, with the exception of the three weekly flights to Jordan."

He pointed out that the aggression coalition continues to impose a siege on Sana'a airport, and refuses to allow it to operate in a manner that meets the actual need.

The Undersecretary of the Civil Aviation stated that the flights operated to Jordan through Sana'a Airport currently represent only one percent compared to what it was before the aggression, and half one percent of the actual need of the Yemeni people.

He also considered that the coalition of aggression, USA, Britain and France, renewed the closure of Yemeni airspace, indicates its intention to continue imposing the siege on the Yemeni people.

Jabal pointed out that the aggression coalition deliberately closes Sana'a International Airport to deprive the Yemeni people of their legitimate right to travel, which was guaranteed by international laws and agreements in light of the silence of the United Nations.

He called on international organizations and relevant authorities in the field of air transport to take a serious and effective stance to compel the aggression coalition to open the airports of the Republic of Yemen.
