SANAA, Nov. 23 (YPA) – The Spokesman of General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in Sanaa Mazen Ghanem denied on Saturday the news circulated on lifting the siege imposed by Saudi-led coalition on Sana’a International Airport.

The spokesman said in a statement that Sanaa Airport is still closed to the civil flights by the Saudi-led coalition in light of the shameful international silence.

Ghanem affirmed that that the rumors circulated about the resumption of civil flights from the airport aimed at misleading public opinion and the international community, calling the media outlets to investigate accuracy.

The spokesman called on the United Nations to pressure on the coalition stats to re-open the airport immediately as its closure violates the international laws and conventions.
