Sanaa : Another commercial flight left Yemen’s capital of Sanaa held by the Houthi militia shortly after it offloaded passengers from Jordan, as part of the ongoing truce between Yemen’s warring parties.
The commercial flight took off on Wednesday, Xinhua news agency reported.
“A plane of Yemenia Airways, the country’s national carrier, arrived in Sanaa from the Jordanian capital Amman at 1:30 p.m. carrying 60 passengers,” an official at the Sanaa International Airport told Xinhua on the condition of anonymity.
