## Description

Israeli airstrikes in May 2025 left Sanaa's airport largely out of commercial service, destroying the departures hall, cratering the runway and wrecking several Yemenia aircraft on the ground. Sitting at about 2,200 m in the Houthi-controlled highlands, SAH had previously been a key entry point for UN and relief flights into northern Yemen — a role now sharply curtailed and dependent on the security situation. For forwarders, regular imports into the north scarcely move by air; they arrive through the Red Sea ports of Hodeidah and Salif and onward road transport. Customs and control rest with the de facto authorities in Sanaa. Any resumption of scheduled traffic hinges on a durable easing of the conflict.
