Aden International Airport

Aden International Airport, originally opened in the 1960s and rebuilt for commercial service in the mid-2010s, is the main gateway to Yemen’s southern coast and a modest regional airport with one main passenger terminal. Serving Aden city and nearby port areas, the airport handles a mix of domestic and limited international routes and acts as a base for Yemenia and several regional carriers when operations permit. Located roughly 10 km from Aden’s city center, ground access is by taxi and shared shuttles with limited public transport options; road connections link to surrounding towns. Travelers often find domestic fares affordable, though international ticket prices can fluctuate due to limited competition and seasonal demand.
