Yemenia Holds Some of Its Offices Legally Responsible for Rejecting Tickets Issued from Sana'a
Yemenia has declared its categorical rejection of any practices that violate the rights of passengers by some of its offices, both domestically and abroad.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), Yemenia affirmed that there is no legal or professional justification for the refusal to accept tickets issued by the company's offices in Sana'a by some of its offices, both domestically and abroad.
The statement warned that these individual actions are subject to legal accountability under international civil aviation laws.
The statement expressed regret for the irresponsible practices that some passengers were subjected to, which contradict the company's ethics and principles.
The statement considered the travel ticket a binding contract that obligates the company to fulfill its obligations until the passenger reaches their final destination.
The statement called on all passengers who have encountered similar situations to file official complaints with the relevant authorities, document the cases, and report them to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable.
Regarding the Sana'a-Amman route, Yemenia categorically denied allegations that sales were restricted to Sana'a offices, asserting that reservations and sales were available to all its offices and agents inside and outside Yemen. This was evidenced by the collection of more than $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 to the company's accounts in Aden for tickets sold on this route.
The company stated that "all operational costs associated with this route—including aircraft fuel, ground services at Queen Alia Airport, and transit fees through Saudi and Jordanian airspace—are fully paid by the company's general management in Sana'a."
Yemena Airways emphasized that attempts by some of its members to politicize corporate work and abuse their powers in an unprofessional manner will not succeed in disrupting the company's national role, affirming its continued service to all Yemenis without exception or discrimination.

Royal Jordanian Denies Yemen Flight Plans Amid Diplomatic Speculation
Royal Jordanian Airlines has officially denied reports suggesting it plans to launch direct flight routes to Yemen, amidst mounting speculation over regional airspace expansion and humanitarian access. In a statement released Monday, the airline clarified: "Royal Jordanian has no current plans to operate flights to Yemeni destinations. Any such developments would require coordination with relevant Jordanian authorities and regional aviation regulators." The clarification follows regional media reports hinting at possible coordination between Jordan and Yemeni officials to reopen commercial air corridors, particularly in light of recent humanitarian efforts and tentative peace talks involving stakeholders in the Yemeni conflict. Airlift and Diplomacy The denial comes at a time when several Arab carriers have cautiously resumed limited services to Yemen's southern cities, reflecting improved security in some zones. Yet, Yemen's fragmented control over airspace and infrastructure remains a major hurdle. Background Context: - Yemen's aviation sector has been largely suspended since the civil conflict escalated in 2015. - Occasional relief flights operate under the supervision of international organizations and regional mediators. - Royal Jordanian previously suspended its Sana'a route amid safety concerns and diplomatic tensions. Analysts suggest the statement is meant to temper expectations while preserving diplomatic neutrality. Jordan continues to support UN-led peace initiatives in Yemen and has hosted multiple rounds of reconciliation talks. Looking Ahead

Houthis Generate Billions Annually from Fuel Trade and Taxation, Yemeni Officials Say
Sana'a – According to statements by Yemeni government officials, the Houthi group earns an estimated $2.5 to $3 billion annually through the import and sale of fuel, as well as the imposition of customs and tax levies in territories under its control. The group reportedly monopolizes fuel imports via the strategic port of Hodeidah, where it imposes levies of up to $120 per ton of imported gasoline. Officials claim that nearly 50% of fuel shipments arrive free of charge from Iran, later sold in local markets at inflated prices—generating over $1.57 billion during one reviewed period alone. Fuel prices in Houthi-controlled areas are nearly double those in government-controlled zones, with a 20-liter canister of gasoline selling for approximately $18.70, compared to $10.30 elsewhere. In addition to direct fuel revenues, the Houthis have collected an estimated $789 million in customs and taxes on oil derivatives imported via Hodeidah port during a single year. Yemeni Minister of Information, Muammar Al-Eryani, described the fuel trade as a 'lifeline for war financing,' accusing Houthi leaders of enriching themselves at the expense of ordinary Yemenis.

EU Allocates €9 Million to Help Avert Famine in Yemen
Brussels – The European Union has announced a €9 million funding package aimed at preventing famine in Yemen, as part of its broader humanitarian response to one of the world's most severe and protracted crises. The funding, earmarked for emergency food assistance and nutrition support, will be channeled through EU humanitarian partners including the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). It targets vulnerable communities in conflict-affected regions such as Hajjah, Taiz, and Hodeidah, where acute food insecurity has reached alarming levels. EU officials say the initiative is designed to bolster local resilience and mitigate the impact of climate-induced shocks, displacement, and economic collapse. The package includes provisions for malnutrition treatment, livelihood restoration, and agricultural support, with a focus on women and children. 'Millions of Yemenis are on the brink of starvation. This funding is a lifeline to those most at risk,' said Hadja Lahbib, EU Commissioner for Crisis Management. 'We urge all parties to facilitate humanitarian access and uphold international humanitarian law.' The €9 million allocation is part of a larger €80 million EU humanitarian commitment to Yemen for 2025. Since the start of the conflict in 2015, the EU has contributed nearly €1.6 billion in aid to Yemen, including food, health, education, and mine clearance efforts. Humanitarian agencies warn that without sustained international support, famine could become widespread, especially as funding shortfalls force aid groups to scale back operations.
