Deputy Minister of Transport, Nasser Sharif, held the Houthi militias responsible for causing the disaster of losing half of the fleet of Yemeni Airlines, as a result of its intransigence and rejected all the proposals that were able to save the planes from the bombing.

Sharif explained, in an interview with "Yemen Today" channel, that Israeli warnings preceded the bombing of Sanaa airport, and the opportunity to transport aircraft to Aden airport or Queen Alia Airport in Amman was provided, but the Houthis deliberately disrupt the evacuation process, which led to heavy losses.

Sharif said: “The militias aim to destroy the remaining sovereign symbolism of the state, including the national carrier,” noting that the legitimate government was ready to provide all the facilities and permits necessary to transport aircraft.

He added that the communication was not direct with the Houthis, but rather through the company's employees in Sana'a, which hindered quick decisions before the bombing, blaming the militias full of responsibility for what happened.
