A Yemeni plane is expected to return to Sana’a International Airport at 4:30 PM this afternoon from Jordan, carrying Yemenis who had been stranded abroad.
The management of Sana’a International Airport confirmed that commercial flights will be organised in the coming days if they are not obstructed by coalition forces.
The flights come as part of the UN-brokered ceasefire agreement, but has been much delayed due to Saudi refusals to allow the air traffic to pass unhindered.
