UAE plane prevented from landing at Socotra airport

SOCOTRA, Oct. 27 (YPA) – forces of exiled Hadi’s government in Socotra Island province on Sunday prevented an Emirati plane from landing at the airport of the island.

According to sources, the local authority did not allow the UAE plane to land at the airport on Saturday because there were aboard eight Indian nationals working as assistants to the UAE delegate Khalfan al-Mazrouei in the island, indicating that the Indians did not get official visas from Hadi’s government.

The UAE, a key partner in Saudi-led aggression coalition on Yemen, is dealing with the province of Socotra archipelago as an eighth Emirate belonging to it, the sources added.

The island’s governor appointed by the exilied Hadi Ramzi Mahrous issued earlier in this month a decision to prevent the entry of any foreigner to the island without obtaining an official visa from the government.
