The Minister Al-Durra also stressed on the need to allow international airlines to operate flights through Sana'a International Airport to several international destinations in accordance with the international laws and conventions, stressing the need to open new destinations of importance to the Yemeni citizen, such as Cairo, India and others, as a legal right.
