Aden — Aden Airways, a newly established airline under the Al-Qutaybi Group, has announced the launch of its first trial flight scheduled for Monday on the Aden–Cairo route. 

The announcement marks a key milestone in the company’s efforts to expand Yemen’s air connectivity and revive commercial aviation amid ongoing challenges.

In a statement released by the airline, officials confirmed that the trial flight will depart from Aden International Airport and land in Cairo, serving as a preliminary test of operational readiness, safety protocols, and passenger services.
