| Summary: | Recent sector work on air transport in
Yemen found the Yemeni air transport sector to be relatively
small compared to that of other countries of similar size,
population, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2007, the
total air traffic was 1.8 million passengers, 76 percent
being international travelers and 24 percent domestic
travelers. Yemen counts three airports open to international
services among a total of 18 civil airports; however,
Sana'a is the only airport with significant traffic (80
percent of total passengers). The national legacy carrier,
Yemenia, has operated all domestic and international routes
since 1962. A second carrier, Felix, was established by
private investors in 2008 with the objective to take over
Yemenia's domestic network. |
