Aden Airways outlines ticket options after cancellations linked to aircraft damage
Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni quoted Aden Airways director Jamal Al-Shaer saying recent cancellations followed damage to an aircraft during the October 21 attack on Dammam airport and subsequent inspections. He said affected passengers could move bookings to the next confirmed flight without penalties or fare-class differences, or receive a full refund. The new development is the clarification and announced options, not a new attack; no firm date was given for normal operations to resume, and the aircraft’s condition has not been independently verified.
