Seiyun Hadhramaut Airport( IATA : GXF, ICAO : OYSY) is an airport in Seiyun, Hadhramaut, Yemen. ^[1]

History

In 2016, all of Yemenia's flights passed through Bisha Domestic Airport for security checks. ^[2] However, Yemenia did not have the traffic rights to transport passengers solely to/from Bisha. Until November 2017, it was the sole operating airport in Yemen, due to the air blockade of Sana'a International Airport and political turmoil in Aden International Airport. ^{[3] [4]} As of September 2022, the airport's sole user and national flag carrier Yemenia operates flights to Aden, Cairo, and Jeddah.
