Remote Yemeni airstrip serving Shabwah Governorate's Ain District.

Location
Ain District, Shabwah Governorate, Yemen
Al Ain Airport, designated with IATA code WDA, is a small airfield located in the Ain District of Shabwah Governorate in eastern Yemen. The airport serves a largely rural and sparsely populated region known for its oil and gas resources. Given the ongoing conflict in Yemen that began in 2015, the airport's operational status and the regularity of commercial flights are highly uncertain. Like many regional Yemeni airfields, it likely functions primarily for government, military, or humanitarian purposes when active. Detailed infrastructure information, including terminal facilities and scheduled airline services, is largely unavailable due to the remote nature of the airport and the instability affecting Yemen.
