Yemen's key Red Sea coast gateway serving Hodeida.

Location

Hodeida, Yemen

Hodeida International Airport is a regional airport located in Hodeida (also spelled Hudaydah), Yemen's fourth-largest city and a major port on the Red Sea coast. The airport serves as an important transport link for the western coastal region of Yemen. Due to the ongoing Yemeni Civil War that began in 2015, the airport has experienced severe disruptions to operations. Coalition airstrikes and conflict-related damage have significantly curtailed or halted civilian air services at various points during the conflict. Hodeida's strategic importance as a port city, through which a large share of Yemen's humanitarian aid and commercial imports pass, has kept the region at the center of international attention. The airport's status and operational capacity have fluctuated considerably depending on the security situation on the ground.
