A plane belonging to Yemen Airlines returned to land at Sayun Airport in Hadhramaut Governorate, minutes after taking off towards Saudi Arabia on Friday afternoon.
An official navigational source said that the Yemeni plane returned to land at Sayun Airport after taking off, heading to Jeddah International Airport, on a flight route Sayun - Jeddah - Sayun.
He explained that the return of the plane with the passengers was among the precautionary measures implemented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to prevent the spread of the Corona virus.
