Yemen Monitor/Newsroom
Yemeni Airways association have called on all relevant parties in the company’s leadership to hold a dialogue in the Jordanian capital, Amman, in the coming week to discuss the increasing challenges threatening the company and to neutralize its operations.
In a statement, the association emphasized the need to reach consensus on several key issues, including the release of the company’s seized assets and aircraft at Sana’a Airport, the resumption of flights from Sana’a without restrictions, and the determination of a financial policy for operating and capital expenditures based on sales ratios and needs.
The statement stressed the need for consensus on participation in decision-making and the distribution of powers to all levels of leadership in the company in accordance with the system, regulations, and best international practices recommended, as well as strengthening and building trust and cooperation between senior leadership positions and all company cadres in all Yemeni governorates, regions, and foreign stations, and working as a unified team, and canceling all appointment decisions that are outside the framework of regulations and systems, while stopping any escalatory steps that do not serve the success of the initiative.
The statement pointed out that the company has been subjected for two years to successive challenges and crises that have negatively affected its operational capacity, due to irresponsible interventions in the company’s affairs by authorities in both Sana’a and Aden, and continued attempts to drag the company into political squabbles and divert it from its professional path, which the company’s leadership and all its cadres have been keen to fulfill their commitments.
The association also stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation among company cadres and canceling decisions that are outside the regulatory framework, warning that the continuation of the current situation will lead to serious repercussions for the future of the company.
An economic crisis erupted between the internationally recognized Yemeni government and the Houthi government in May, following the armed group’s seizure of four Yemeni Airways planes at Sana’a Airport after their arrival at Sana’a Airport to transport returning pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.
This came after the internationally recognized government directed Yemeni Airways, on May 5, to transfer all its revenues to its accounts in the temporary capital, Aden, or abroad.
