Yemenia Airways to Resume Cairo & India Services from Sanaa

Yemen’s Houthi group on Sunday announced the resumption of flights between Sanaa and both Egypt and India. The move marks the first direct flights from Sanaa to Cairo and Mumbai since the conflict in Yemen began nearly ten years ago.

The new flight schedule includes a daily flight between Sanaa and Cairo and two flights weekly between Sanaa and Mumbai, Yemen’s national airline Yemenia Airways said in a statement.

The flights are part of an agreement announced by UN envoy Hans Grundberg between the Yemeni government and Houthis to de-escalate their economic conflict.

The agreement included canceling all recent decisions and procedures against banks by both sides, resuming Yemenia Airways’ flights between Sanaa and Jordan, and operating flights to Cairo and India.
