Sana'a Airport director condemns Saudi sabotage of first commercial flight in years

Director of Sana’a International Airport confirmed Sunday that the US-Saudi aggression is procrastinating the obligations of humanitarian truce, and does not have the credibility and seriousness to open the airport.

In a statement to Almasirah, Khalid Al-Shayef said: We were surprised that the permit was not granted to Yemenia Airways to organize the flight agreed upon under the auspices of the United Nations, despite our commitment to all requirements in airport services.

He stressed that the aggression seeks to stop any attempt to open the airport to deepen the humanitarian crisis and kill the patients, stressing that all alleged justifications announced by the US-Saudi aggression come in the context of repudiating the truce commitments, and alleviating human suffering.

He indicated that the Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in contact with the office of the UN envoy to inform him of the ban, expressing hope that the United Nations will bear responsibility and put pressure on the US-Saudi aggression to implement its obligations.
