Air
All travel to the area around Saada in northern Yemen is recommended
against, primarily due to heavy fighting that has
occurred there since June 20 2004.
The Yemen Tourist Police are discouraging individual travel
outside Sana’a and necessitate all such travellers to apply
for permission. There is still considered to be a continuing high
threat from terrorism and that, in particular, international terrorists
are aiming at western, including British, interests in Yemen.
The Republic of Yemen’s national airline is Yemen
Airways (Yemenia) (IY).
