Fleet
Yemenia Airways (IATA: IY, ICAO: IYE) is the flag carrier of Yemen, established in 1961. As the country's primary international airline, Yemenia operates scheduled passenger services connecting Yemen to regional and international destinations across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
The airline maintains two operational hubs: Sana'a International Airport and Aden International Airport. These hubs serve as connection points for domestic and regional flights, positioning Yemenia as a key gateway for travellers to and from Yemen. The dual-hub strategy allows the carrier to serve both northern and southern routes efficiently.
Yemenia's fleet comprises modern Airbus aircraft: the A320 for short-to-medium regional routes, the A330 for longer international sectors, and the A350 for extended range operations. This mix of narrowbody and widebody aircraft enables the airline to optimise capacity and fuel efficiency across its network while maintaining consistent service standards on varied route lengths.
