News – Yemen: The Director General of Air Transport, Dr. Mazen Ghanem Al-Soufi, confirmed that Sana'a Airport is still under siege, and this siege will only be lifted by the full opening of this airport to various destinations.

Al-Sufi told  Almasirah, Thursday: "Only 6 flights leave Sana'a airport per week, and these flights are not enough, and we want to open the airport completely." He considered that the closure of Sana'a airport is a war crime, and that the first victim of its closure is 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, indicating its intention to continue imposing the siege on the people of Yemen.

Jabal pointed out that the aggression coalition deliberately closed 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.
