Israeli strikes halt Yemen flights, hundreds stranded

Yemenia Airways has halted flights from Sana’a after Israeli strikes damaged the airport’s main facilities, stranding hundreds, including patients, in Amman and Yemen on May 7th, The New Arab reported. 

The airline is considering rerouting travellers through Aden, the southern city under the internationally recognised government’s control.

Houthi officials say six planes were destroyed, including three previously seized in a power struggle with the Yemeni government.

Passengers face uncertainty as political tensions and war continue to disrupt vital travel routes.
