“Yemen is to stop issuing visas to foreigners arriving at international airports, state media has reported.

The move was to “halt terrorist infiltration,” Saba state media said.

The change will affect Western visitors, including those from the US, Canada and Europe, who had generally been able to get visas at airports.”

Aden International Airport

Aden Airport Fact Sheet – commercial site but has some tidbits about some airlines and their popular flights; where they fly to from Aden and the frequency of flights.

Some people who are intending on going to Sana’a, sometimes come through the Aden airport as people do get turned away from the Sana’a one from time to time (not tourists but generally it would be someone coming to study/make hijrah, someone who looks “too religious”).

Sana’a International Airport

Posted on April 4, 2009 by talibiddeenjr

The Sana’a International Airport is located about 15 km from downtown.

The airport code is SAH.

When coming into Sana’a, you can expect a “from the airport” taxi ride fee of maybe 2000 riyals (10 dollars). This was the cost for about a 20km trip from the airport. But, keep in mind, that prices can vary.

If possible, go with a taxi company taxi to get a fair price, insha Allah.

See Taxis under “Traveling –Inside Yemen–Taxi Companies” Tag for information about a few taxi companies.
