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
