Aden (IINA) – The International Airport of Aden will resume operations on Tuesday after intermittent closures because of the emergency events in this temporary capital city of Yemen.

"The airport will be open to passengers as of next Tuesday, according to the flight schedules of Yemen Airways," Yemeni Minister of Transport Murad Alhalmi said in a statement to Yemen News Agency SABA, adding that the airport will receive the first flight arriving from Cairo Airport.

Alhalmi stressed that his ministry is making great efforts for the sustainability of the trips, pointing out that the shortcomings and deficiencies are due to security reasons. He pledged to redouble the efforts to overcome all these problems through continuous contact with President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, as well as the prime minister, minister of interior and the governor of Aden.
