A flight that previously could only go to Jordan and required coalition approval has now landed at Sanaa airport and departed for Tehran without coordination or prior permission. Saudi warplanes were unable to intercept or stop the aircraft, forcing them to leave the airspace. The incident highlights a strategic shift in the use of Yemen’s capital airport.
The event underscores growing tensions and changing flight patterns in the region, as aircraft navigate around coalition oversight.
The lack of coordination raises concerns about airspace security and the enforcement of international flight regulations.
Officials have not yet confirmed the identity of the airline or the passengers aboard the aircraft.
