Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data information on Yemen
The air transport sector of the Republic of Yemen is relatively small. With the size of the country (528,000 km2) and its population of 23 million, it has 18 airports, of which 12 with runways of at least 2,500 meters (for comparison, Morocco, with about 1.4 times the population of Yemen, has 44 airports of which 13 with runways of at least 2,500 meters).
There are 13 fully operational airports in Yemen, five of which are international (Sana’a, Aden, Taiz, Al Rayan in Mukala and Hodieda) and 8 local (Sayun, Attaq, Al Ghaidha, Mareb, Al Buqa’a, Al Biedha, Sa’ada and Soctra). The state has allocated resources to modernize airports and provide navigation equipment ensuring air transport safety including ongoing rehabilitation works on the Aden International Airport. Twenty-three international airline companies fly regularly over Yemen’s air space. Yemen has signed bilateral air transport agreements with 41 countries.
Air Carriers
Traditionally the national carrier, Yemenia Airlines was the only
operating carrier within the county, currently Yemeina Airlines is
undergoing a restructuring process where various departments are
being segregated and established as associated private entities
responsible for their individual services.
Such subsidiaries include:
- Yemenia Ground Handling Company - Ground handling services
- Yemenia Cargo Handling Company - Cargo Handling Services
- Yemenia Joint Venture - Air Charter Services
- Felix Air - Domestic flights
- Yemenia Airways
Yemenia - Yemen Airways is the national airline of Yemen, which has established an international network serving over 23 destinations. Until recently, it was also the only domestic air service provider. However, a new domestic carrier called Felix Airways started operations on 26 October 2008, taking over Yemenia’s domestic network. While the carrier is focusing at becoming a successful intercontinental sixth freedom carrier, its most profitable current market is within the Gulf region. Nevertheless, it has embarked on a substantial fleet renewal program, which includes modern Airbus A350 aircraft, to meet the expected demand.

Nevertheless, the only airport with significant traffic is Sana’a, which is estimated to handle about 1.7 million passengers in 2008. The next airport, Aden, has only about 14 percent of Sana’a’s traffic, which is also estimated to double within ten years. Al-Mukalla accounts for less than ten percent of Sana’a, and all other airports have very little traffic.
