Felix Airways
Felix Airways Limited, also known as Al Saeeda, (both meaning "Happy," from the Roman term for Yemen, Arabia Felix)[3] is a regional airline based in Sana'a, Yemen. HistoryThe airline was established in 2008 as a subsidiary of flag carrier Yemenia by the Islamic Bank for Development, to serve the growing market for low-cost travel in the region.[4] In late October 2008, Felix Airways began domestic operations with CRJ 700 aircraft, and expanded both domestically and regionally.[5] Operations have been severely disrupted since 2015 due to the ongoing military conflict affecting its hub at Sana'a International Airport.[6][7] From 2015 the airline, in common with the entire Yemeni tourist industry, suffered a near-complete reduction in activity due to the conflict and the siege in the region; Felix Airways flights were reported (in April 2019) to have declined from 55 to only 3 weekly flights.[8] The airline originally also had two Bombardier CRJ700s, but one was destroyed by bombing at Sana'a International Airport in April 2015.[9][10][11] DestinationsCurrent destinationsAs of February 2021, Felix Airways serves the following scheduled destinations:[2]
