However, this efficiency is increasingly handicapped by the poor performance of urban transport, especially in the capital Sana'a. This report presents the main findings of this review and makes key recommendations to improve the efficiency of urban transport in Sana'a. It contains the following chapters: a first chapter presents the general context of the study, characterized by fast demographic and spatial growth in Sana'a, causing major difficulties in terms of urban transport management; a second chapter analyses and describes the main underlying issues affecting the performance and efficiency of Sana'a transport system; a third chapter presents institutional, technical and financing recommendations to improve the performance of Sana'a transport system; and a fourth chapter presents a tentative three-year action plan for implementation of the recommendations.CC BY 3.0 IGOAIMAIRAIR CARGOAIR FARESAIR NAVIGATIONAIR NAVIGATION SERVICESAIR SAFETYAIR SERVICEAIR SERVICESAIR TRAFFICAIR TRAFFIC CONTROLAIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMAIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERSAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORT ACTIVITIESAIR TRANSPORT SECTORAIR TRAVELAIRCRAFTAIRCRAFT MOVEMENTSAIRFIELDSAIRLINE COMPANIESAIRLINESAIRPORT INFRASTRUCTUREAIRPORT OPERATIONSAIRPORT TRAFFICAIRPORTSAIRWAYSASPHALTASSET VALUATIONAVIATION SECTORBRIDGECABOTAGECARRIERSCASH FLOWCOMPETITION POLICYCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGECONCESSIONSCONCRETECONSTRUCTIONCONSUMER PROTECTIONCOST RECOVERYDISPOSABLE INCOMEDOCKSDOMESTIC AIR TRANSPORTDOMESTIC AIR TRAVELDOMESTIC FLIGHTSDOMESTIC TRAFFICECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIES OF SCALEEXCESS CAPACITYFARE STRUCTUREFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFIXED COSTSFLEET PLANNINGFLEET RENEWALFLIGHTFLIGHT SAFETYFRAMEWORKFUELFUTURE DEMANDGPSGROWTH RATESHANDLINGHIGH FARESINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL AIR SERVICESINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATIONINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTSINTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANISATIONINTERNATIONAL FLIGHTSINTERNATIONAL PASSENGERSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRAFFICINTERNATIONAL TRAVELERSINVESTMENT PROGRAMLOAD FACTORSLOW TARIFFSLOWER TARIFFSMARKET PARTICIPATIONMEANS OF TRANSPORTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMODE OF TRANSPORTATIONNAVIGATION AIDSOPERATION OF AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPARKINGPASSENGERPASSENGER NUMBERSPASSENGER REVENUEPASSENGER TRAFFICPASSENGERSPAYLOADPEAK HOURSPROFITABLE OPERATIONSPUBLIC FUNDSRADIORAILWAYROADROAD SECTORROUND TRIPROUTEROUTESRUNWAYRUNWAYSSAFETYSAFETY LEVELSSEAT CAPACITYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSTORAGE CAPACITYTAXIWAYSTRAFFIC DATATRAFFIC DEMANDTRAFFIC GROWTHTRAFFIC LEVELSTRAFFIC VOLUMETRANSITTRANSIT RIGHTSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORTATION SERVICESTRAVELERSURBAN TRANSPORTUTILITIESVELOCITYVOLUME OF TRAFFICWorld Bank10.1596/2982
