Yemen Announces New Air Travel Agreement with Increased Flights to Amman, Cairo, India

Deputy General Authority for Civil Aviation and Meteorology, Raed Jabal, confirmed the recent Muscat agreement includes positive changes for patients and travelers. ‘

Jabal stated on Wednesday to Almasirah that the agreement increases flights from Sana’a Airport to Amman to three daily and two daily to Cairo and India as needed.

He highlighted Yemenia Airlines’ responsibility to standardize ticket prices across all Yemeni airports for citizens. He emphasized Sana’a Airport as the main hub for the company and maintenance.

Jabal welcomed Egypt’s statement on the agreement and invited Egyptian civil aviation authorities to resume flights between Sana’a and Cairo for Yemenia Airlines and Egyptian carriers.

On Tuesday, Mohammed Abdulsalam, head of the National Delegation, announced an agreement between Yemen and Saudi Arabia to tackle humanitarian and economic issues.

The agreement cancels recent banking measures, resumes Yemeni Airlines flights to Jordan, and plans for daily flights to Cairo and India. It also initiates meetings to discuss economic and humanitarian concerns and address challenges facing Yemeni Airlines.

This development follows a period of escalatory actions by Saudi Arabia, which included targeting Yemen’s economy and obstructing humanitarian agreements, reportedly influenced by the United States. The aim of this escalation is to deter Yemen from supporting Palestinians facing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The agreement responds to warnings from Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, Leader of the Revolution, against worsening the economic conditions of Yemeni citizens, who have suffered for ten years due to US-Saudi aggression. Sayyed Abdulmalik has established an equation of “airport for airport, port for port, and bank for bank.”
