Yemenia Reduces Capacity to Guangzhou

Posted 02/05/2011

Yemenia reduced capacity on its Sana’a – Dubai – Guangzhou route to twice weekly on May 1 having served the link three times per week for the past month.  The airline previously served the market on a twice weekly schedule, but increased capacity on April 1.  No further information has been released by the airline for the reason behind these amendments. 

The airline carried an estimated 5,500 O&D passengers between Sana’a and Guangzhou in the past year giving it a 59 per cent share of the market.  On the sector between Sana’a and Dubai, where it competes directly with Emirates Airline, Yemenia carried around 28,000 O&D travellers, down 15.8 per cent on the previous 12 months, although it maintained its 36 per cent share of the traffic.
