Marib( IATA : MYN, ICAO : OYMB) is a civilian airport which was designated for construction in 2018 to serve the town of Ma'rib in Yemen. Its construction was suspended indefinitely for political reasons after being awarded to a contracting company. The construction of the airport has reportedly restarted as of 4 October, 2023, after Governor Sultan Al Aradah laid the new foundation stone. It is to be built with Saudi funding. [2]
