Today, Aden International Airport witnessed a long-awaited event with the arrival of the first flights of the African Express airline on the Aden-Mogadishu-Nairobi route, after a hiatus that lasted for years.

The resumption of these flights represents a qualitative shift in the air transport sector in Yemen, as it will facilitate movement between Aden and a number of African cities, and open new horizons for trade and tourism exchange.

The Undersecretary of the General Authority of Civil Aviation and Meteorology, Engineer Muhammad Nasher, confirmed that this step will contribute to stimulating economic activity in the country, noting that flights will be regular at two flights per week.

Al-Muflhi stressed that the Ministry of Transport will continue its support for all airlines seeking to resume their flights to Yemen.

In the same context, the Somali ambassador to Yemen expressed his happiness at restarting this line, stressing the depth of relations between the two brotherly countries.

In turn, the Director General of Aden International Airport, Abdul Raqeeb Al-Omari, confirmed that the airport is ready to receive all flights, and called on other airlines to resume their flights to Aden.
