Today, Sunday, the Minister of Transport in the Sanaa government, Abdulwahab Yahya Al-Durra, announced that "The first commercial flight from Sanaa airport, since the beginning of the armistice, will depart to Jordan tomorrow, Monday."

Al-Durra pointed out that "The commercial flight will operate tomorrow, Monday, to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and will return on the same day, via Yemenia Airways."

The minister denied "the existence of any impediment or decision from the United Nations that prevents the continuation of commercial flights from Sanaa airport permanently without linking them to the humanitarian truce... especially since the United Nations inspects and monitors commercial flights."

Earlier, Al-Durra reiterated the technical and professional readiness of Sanaa International Airport to launch all civil and commercial flights.

Al-Durra indicated that Sanaa Airport provides air navigation services to United Nations aircraft, in addition to the UN's affiliated organizations and international humanitarian organizations operating in Yemen on a daily basis. The services are provided by qualified Yemeni cadres certified by UN staff and international humanitarian organizations who make frequent check-ins at the airport. 

The advisor of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Taher An'am, confirmed in an interview with Al Mayadeen that Sanaa's leadership has been disturbed by the failure of the Saudi side to implement the conditions of the armistice, especially regarding opening the airport and not obstructing the docking of ships.

Earlier, Joint Meeting parties strongly condemned the Saudi coalition's stalling on opening Sanaa airport in addition to Riyadh's failure to abide by the conditions of the two-month truce which was brokered by the UN. 

According to the parties, Saudi Arabia did not have even the slightest commitment to the armistice as the end of its first-month approaches. 

Saudi coalition violated truce over 5,000 times: Yemeni official

According to a Yemeni official, the Saudi-led coalition troops and its allied militant groups have violated the UN-brokered national truce more than 5,000 times.

At the time in April, the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced that "under this truce, all offensive military operations, by land, air, and sea, will cease."

Last month, the operations room monitoring the violations reported that the Saudi-led coalition forces committed 89 violations of the ceasefire in Al-Hudaydah. 

On April 10, the Yemeni military media highlighted that the Saudi coalition committed 1,647 violations of the humanitarian and military armistice agreement within a week of its entry into force.
