Yemen Airways announced today, Tuesday, the return of its Airbus A320 to service. This decision comes just days after the aircraft sustained damage to its wing during ground handling operations at Aden International Airport.
A responsible source from the airline informed the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) that the incident occurred on Sunday, June 23. A ground support vehicle collided with the aircraft’s wing, temporarily grounding the plane. Fortunately, the airline has restored the aircraft to full operational readiness as of this afternoon.
Before returning to service, the Airbus A320 underwent a thorough operational test and airworthiness inspection. This evaluation included a full hour of flight to ensure the aircraft’s technical safety. The first flight after maintenance is scheduled for early Wednesday, on the Aden-Jeddah-Aden route, under flight number IY512-3.
In a related announcement, the source confirmed the resumption of the Aden-Amman-Aden route starting Wednesday, July 9, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the airline’s operational activities and expand travel options for Yemeni passengers.
Yemen Airways emphasizes that the safety of its aircraft and customer satisfaction remain top priorities. The airline continues to focus on improving performance and enhancing operational efficiency across all its destinations.
