TBM Staff - Mumbai Yemenia Airways is set to resume commercial flights from Yemen’s Sanaa to Egypt, and India starting Sunday evening, Yemen’s state news agency SABA said.
Return flights to Cairo will operate once daily, while flights to India will run twice weekly. The resumption in flights are part of an agreement between Saudi Arabia and Yemen aimed at calming hostilities in Yemen’s decade-old civil war.
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.
For over two years, Yemen has seen a de-escalation from a conflict that started in March 2015.
Flights between Sanaa and Cairo had been halted since late 2016.
