Airlines and destinations
As of 2021, there are no longer any scheduled services at the airport after Yemenia suspended all routes in 2015 due to the ongoing regional conflict.[1] Previously, the airline served a handful of domestic and international destinations.
Yemeni Civil War
The airport was heavily involved in the conflict and was the scene of the Battle of Hudaida. The Saudi-led coalition moved to capture the airport on June 13, 2018, the first day of the Battle of Hudaida.[2][3] The airport was partially captured by coalition forces in June 2018, though Houthi forces still control part of the complex.[4]
