Overview

The most remote Yemeni airport, which was opened in 1999,^{[citation needed]} has a weekly flight connecting the island with the mainland airport in Mukalla where an aircraft makes a technical stop on their route to Aden. The airport is located on the paved road that connects Hadibo on the northern coast with the main tourist attraction on the extreme west of the island, Qalansiyah beach. It takes about two hours to get from the airport to Qalansiyah. There is no scheduled transportation service between the airport and Hadibo, but it can be reached within a quarter of an hour by vehicle.

Flights were suspended in March 2015, due to Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen[2] and resumed in late 2018.

In April 2018, troops from the United Arab Emirates dismissed the Yemeni officials and took administrative control of the airport.[3] On May of the same year, an agreement was reached between the United Arab Emirates and Yemen where control of the airport returned to the Yemeni authorities.[4][5]

[it] Aeroporto di Socotra

L'Aeroporto di Socotra (مطار سقطرى الدولي: arabo) è un aeroporto situato nell'isola di Socotra nello Yemen (IATA: SCT, ICAO: OYSQ). È l'unico aeroporto commerciale che serve l'isola yemenita di Socotra nel Mar Arabico e il suo capoluogo Hadibu. L'aeroporto dell'isola yemenita ha voli giornalieri che collegano l'isola al vicino aeroporto di Al-Mukalla (Riyan Airport) sulla terraferma in cui tutti i velivoli fanno una sosta tecnica sul loro percorso verso la capitale Sana'a o verso Aden. L'aeroporto si trova sulla strada asfaltata che collega Hadibo sulla costa settentrionale con la principale attrazione turistica all'estremo ovest dell'isola, la spiaggia di Qalansiyah, dalla quale dista circa due ore. Non è previsto alcun servizio di trasporto tra l'aeroporto e Hadibu, comunque il tragitto è percorribile con un'autovettura in un quarto d'ora ad una tariffa tra 30 e 50 Riyal yemeniti.
