Direct flights from Sana'a International Airport

General Information About Sana'a International Airport

Yemen's main airport closed abruptly in August 2016, closing millions of people off from humanitarian and commercial goods entering Yemen as well as blocking humanitarian and commercial goods from entering. This closure caused significant harm to civilians; so much so, that even the UN Human Rights Council held it responsible as violating humanitarian law.

Reopening Sanaa International Airport is an essential step toward peace in Yemen and could save countless lives.

The United Nations has strongly encouraged both the Saudi-led coalition and internationally recognized government of Yemen to cooperate with UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths in reopening an airport, in order to reduce suffering and improve people's wellbeing.

Yemen's war has resulted in the partial reopening of an airport, yet not enough to allow passengers to travel there and back again. As long as this remains the case, violence between warring parties will likely remain concentrated around it.

Yemenia Airways provides non-stop flights between Sana'a and two other destinations: Mumbai BOM and Amman AMM.

Sana'a SAH offers one of the longest nonstop flights from Saudi Arabia - this non-stop journey covers 1,182 miles (1,903 km). The flight typically takes 4 hours and 30 minutes.
