Aden, Newsyemen, private:

The decision to return the Yemeni flight to Cairo airport after taking off in minutes was not the first by the leadership of the Arab Coalition, but it was surprising for the 172 passengers who were on board (Cairo - Aden) flight last Friday night.

According to the sources, effective orders were issued by the Saudi-led coalition, after which the Yemeni aircraft were forced to return before they crossed the Egyptian airspace.

Earlier, the coalition re-imposed new conditions in order for the flights to continue, the most important of which was the copying and sending of passport copies of travelers to thecevacuation room ”in Saudi Arabia, which was not done by Yemenia.

Sources report that the coalition is coming to a new strategy in this aspect, the purpose of which is to pursue some elements of the Houthi militia, in addition to tracking other required elements, and political figures whose movements are being preserved at the present time.

Other sources confirmed from the capital, Khartoum, that the coalition dealt in the same way with Friday's "Al-Saeedah" flight, although passport photos were raised, and the flight was delayed for two days.

It should be noted that on the same day, the coalition conducted a flight from Al-Ghaydah Airport to Socotra Airport through a Royal Transport plane, during which a large group of stranded citizens of the island were returned.

It is noteworthy that the United Nations operates many flights between Sana'a and the Sultanate of Oman, which raises questions about the coalition's ability to fully control the movement of Houthi leaders.
