Hub Airport
Sana'a International Airport
Sana'a International Airport is the main international airport of Yemen and is situated in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. The airport started off at a small passenger terminal in the 1970s but later became a shared public/military base with several fighter jets and transport aircraft owned by the Yemeni Air Force.
Between 2015 and 2017, the airport was targeted by the Royal Saudi Air Force and was bombed multiple times resulting in severe damage to the runway and passenger terminal building. Because of this, Saudi authorities closed the airport and stopped all civilian flights. The airport was targeted again by Saudi Arabian airstrikes in December 2021 and became heavily damaged.
In May 2022, commercial flights finally resumed from the airport after six years of no use. Yemenia successfully flew to the Jordanian capital of Amman. In January 2023, it was announced that the airport was once again closed however Yemenia is still operating scheduled flights between Sana'a and Amman.
Fleet
As of February 2021, Felix Airways operates a fleet of 3 aircraft. These are the Bombardier CRJ200ER and the Bombardier CRJ700. Both of these aircraft can seat up to 60 passengers.
The airline did have another Bombardier CRJ700, however, this was destroyed in 2015 by the bombing at Sana'a International Airport.
