Images showing power outages at Yemen’s second largest airport, Aden International Airport, have been shared online by activists on Tuesday.
The photos, showing the outages and accompanying risk for navigation, communications and runway lighting equipment, are a testimony to the inability of the Saudi-led occupation of Aden to run the airport properly.
Photos circulated by activists on social media show the power outages at the halls of the airport after a flight arrived, in a shocking scene that has not been seen before, which indicated the irresponsibility of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (SCT)’s leadership that controls the airport.

Passengers are seen using their phones during frequent power outages at the airport to identify their luggage.
Meanwhile, maritime sources reported that the runway was in a catastrophic stare, causing aircraft tires to explode during the take-off and landing, showing great risk for the passengers affected.
