In 2007, the total air traffic was 1.8 million passengers, 76 percent being international travelers and 24 percent domestic travelers. Yemen counts three airports open to international services among a total of 18 civil airports; however, Sana'a is the only airport with significant traffic (80 percent of total passengers). The national legacy carrier, Yemenia, has operated all domestic and international routes since 1962. A second carrier, Felix, was established by private investors in 2008 with the objective to take over Yemenia's domestic network.CC BY 3.0 IGOAIRAIR TRAFFICAIR TRAFFIC CONTROLAIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICESAIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREAIR TRANSPORT SECTORAIRBUSAIRCRAFTSAIRLINEAIRPORTAIRPORT INFRASTRUCTUREAIRPORT OPERATIONSAIRPORT TARIFFSAIRPORTSAIRWAYSCARGOCARRIERSCASH FLOWCIVIL AVIATIONCIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITYCOMPETITION POLICYCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONSTRUCTIONCOST RECOVERYDIRECTIONAL RADIODOMESTIC FLIGHTSDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC TRAFFICECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIES OF SCALEEQUIPMENTFARE STRUCTUREFINANCESFLEET RENEWALFRAMEWORKFUELFUTURE DEMANDGLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMGPSHIGH FARESHOTELSHUBINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL FLIGHTSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRAFFICINTERNATIONAL TRAVELERSINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT PROJECTSLEGAL FRAMEWORKLOWER TARIFFSMARKET SHAREMETEOROLOGICAL SERVICESNATIONAL CARRIEROPERATION OF AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPASSENGERPASSENGER TRAFFICPASSENGERSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTORSPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSRANGEREGIONAL AIRLINESROUTESSAFETYSECONDARY AIRPORTSSHAREHOLDERSTERMINALTOTAL AIRTRAFFIC DEMANDTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATIONTRAVELERSTREASURYVOLUME OF TRAFFICWorld Bank10.1596/10862
