Egypt has approved direct flights between Yemen’s capital and Cairo, the Yemeni government said, in the latest sign of progress in the country. The green light comes after the first commercial flight in six years flew from Sanaa to Amman in Jordan last week, as part of a UN-brokered truce between Yemen’s internationally recognised government and the Ansar Allah fighters.
“We express our deep thanks to the brotherly Egyptian government... for agreeing to operate direct flights between Sanaa and Cairo in accordance with the armistice agreement,” Yemeni Foreign Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak wrote on Twitter.
