During the meeting, Al-Durra confirmed the role of the United Nations in technical coordination and support according to the plans agreed upon with the United Nations Project Office regarding civil aviation.

Al-Durra indicated that the three weekly flights to Amman served only 70,000 passengers back and forth during a full year of armistice and lull periods; This led to pressure on reservations and an increase in the number of people stranded at airports, especially during return.

For his part, Abdul Qadir reviewed the efforts made to raise the readiness of Sana’a International Airport as a result of the bombing and closure it was subjected to, until it was ready to receive commercial flights from multiple destinations.

He stressed the need to start urgently operating flights and other destinations, including to Mumbai, Cairo and other destinations that meet the needs of the Yemeni traveler.

In turn, Bazargan said that they are communicating with the concerned authorities to open these lines, as well as working to increase Amman flights, stressing the need to open Sana’a airport based on its importance and the humanitarian services it provides to the Yemenis
