The Adeniya newspaper Al-Amnaa said that the Deputy Director General for Operations Affairs of Yemeni Airlines, Abdullah Muhammad Abdo Al-Shattafa, had defected and declared his rebellion from the management of the Yemeni Airlines company in the capital, Aden, and left for Sana’a to work with the Houthis, whom he had previously worked with during previous periods.< /p>

The newspaper's sources explained that Al-Shattah received all the care and attention while he was in the capital, Aden, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yemen Airways granted him many privileges despite his causing problems in the hope of encouraging him to work and making more efforts to advance the work.

The sources revealed in the context of their own testimony to the “trustees” that Al-Shattah traveled abroad under the pretext of treatment and then returned to Taiz and from there to Sana’a, where he began launching malicious campaigns targeting the management of the Yemenia Airlines Company in Aden and trying to harm the company’s reputation with the support and encouragement of the Houthis.

The same sources revealed that Abdullah Al-Shattafa was linked to the issue of planning to hijack the four Yemeni Airlines planes that were hijacked at Sanaa airport by the Houthis and are still hijacked to this moment.
