Jordan’s FM confirms continuing to provide facilities for Yemen’s flights

AMMAN, Oct. 10 (YPA) – The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed on Monday that its country would continue to facilitate commercial flights between Amman and Sanaa.

The ministry’s spokesman Haitham Abu Al-Ful, expressing in a press statement his regret for the failure to extend the UN-sponsored humanitarian and military truce in Yemen.

“Jordan supports efforts to end the Yemeni crisis through a political solution that guarantees Yemen’s unity, stability and territorial integrity, alleviates the suffering of its brotherly people and meets their aspirations for security and peace,” he added.

On May 12, the Jordanian government announced that it had agreed to operate commercial flights from Sanaa airport to Queen Alia Airport, during the truce, with passports issued by the National Salvation Government in Sanaa.

The UN efforts to extend the armistice agreement in Yemen, which began on April 2 and ended on October 2, failed, due to the coalition’s refusal to implement Sanaa’s demands to pay employees’ salaries, open the port of Hodeida and increase the number of flights to and from Sanaa Airport.
