News - Yemen: The UN representative to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, stressed the need to increase the number of destinations for flights to and from Sana'a International Airport, and the smooth opening of Hodeidah ports.

"After a year of unprecedented calm in Yemen, the parties must take bold steps towards ending the conflict," he said.

Yesterday, president Mahdi Al-Mashat, head of Supreme Political Council, warned that the US and UK are seeking to push for escalation, stressing that the whole world would be affected if the US-Saudi aggression backed against Yemen.

Recently, the Undersecretary of the Civil Aviation and Meteorology, Raed Jabal, affirmed that the aggression coalition has abandoned its humanitarian obligations in opening Sana'a International Airport to provide its services to the people of Yemen.

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.

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 people of Yemen.

Jabal pointed out that the aggression coalition deliberately closes Sana'a International Airport to deprive the people of Yemen 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.
