Sana'a - The United Arab Emirates (UAE) signed an air services Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Yemen to increase flights between the two countries.

The MoU adds four weekly flights by Dubai's carriers to the Yemeni capital city and an unspecified number of flights to other Yemeni airports which follow the open-skies policy.

The agreement aims to further promote trade exchange, passenger traffic and economic relations between the UAE and Yemen.

The MoU was signed at a ceremony here by Director General of the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) Saif Mohammad Al Suwaidi and Director General of Yemen's Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority Hamid Fajaj and Director General of Yemen's Civil Aviation and Meteorological Authority (CAMA).

The new agreement aims to enhance areas of cooperation between the two countries in the field of civil aviation, and to keep pace with developments in the air transport area and to serve the passengers movement and international shipping as well as strengthening economic, trade and investment exchange between the two countries.

Earlier, Yemeni Transport Minster Khalid Al-Wazir and Al-Suwaidi discussed ways to promote civil aviation cooperation. Al-Suwaidi, in statements carried by Saba, Yemen's state news agency, hailed the strong bilateral relations between the two countries, the new security procedures followed at Yemeni airports which are on par with those in place at European airports. "I believe it is difficult for anybody to break into the security checks imposed on cargo and passengers (at Yemeni airports)," Al Suwaidi said. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
