Planes arriving in seiyun airport

As of March 2018, there are only two flights operated by Yemenia: Amman and Cairo. Until November 2017 it was the sole operating airport in Yemen, due to the air blockade on Sana'a International Airport and political turmoil in Aden International Airport[3] [4]

Notes
  • ^1 As of early 2016, all of Yemenia's flights operated via Bisha Domestic Airport.[5] However, Yemenia does not have the traffic rights to transport passengers solely to/from Bisha.
