AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoAirport & border travel shock in Yemen: Yemen’s internationally recognized government said it struck the runway at Sanaa International Airport on July 13 to stop an Iranian-linked Mahan Air flight from landing, after talks failed with a Houthi delegation returning from Tehran. Retaliation across the region: Hours later, the Houthis fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia, targeting Abha International Airport, while Saudi air defenses said they intercepted the threat—marking the biggest flare-up between the sides in years. Air travel disruption: Flights to Saudi Abha from the UAE were cancelled after the attack, with flydubai diverting one service to Taif and warning of further cancellations. Broader travel risk from the Red Sea/Hormuz crisis: The airport escalation is unfolding alongside renewed US-Iran pressure over the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping fees and a reinstated blockade raising fears of wider disruptions for travelers and supply routes. India updates Yemen travel guidance: India cancelled its long-running 2017 Yemen advisory but still urged Indians to avoid non-essential travel and register for support.
