Yemenia - Yemen Airways ‎is the national flag carrier of Yemen, based in Sana'a It operates scheduled domestic services as well as international services to more than 30 destinations in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Its main base is Sana'a International Airport, with a hub at Aden International Airport.

 The Yemenia name was adopted on 1 July 1978, following the joint formation early in 1977 of a new airline by the governments of the Yemen Arab Republic, now Republic of Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.

In 1990, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen joined the Yemen Arab republic to form one state.Yemenia merged with South Yemen's Yemen Airlines on 15 May 1996.[ Following the PDRY airline's merger with Yemenia, many employees lost their posts either through retirement or dismissal.

Yemenia was founded on 4 August 1961 as a public institution bearing the name Yemen Airlines, and began operations in 1962. It is currently jointly owned by the governments of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

Felix Airways initiated its operations on 26 October 2008 with one CRJ700 aircraft and a paid up capital of US$ 80 million. Currently has a fleet of 4 aircraft (for details see below) and plans in near future to double its fleet, to serve all domestic and addtional international destinations. 

Domestically Felix Airways serves 8 locations: Aden, Riyan, Taiz, Hodiedah, Sayoun, Alghaydah, Attaq and Socotra. Regional destinations, Felix Airways serves Dammam, Medinah, Djibouti, Sharjah, Abh and Jeddah  with plans for  Al Taif, Jazan, Alexandria, Beirut, Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, Al Khurtum, Hargetsa, Mombasa, Zinzibar and Dar Es Salam.

Felix Airways was incorporated with the objective to take over Yemenia’s domestic network, which was not profitable in the  past. Yemenia has transferred its domestic traffic rights to Felix Airways, and converted to a 25 percent equity stake, which might create certain issues if Felix Airways expands internationally in the future. Yemen Airways, released some of its senior staff to operate and manage the Felix Airways.
