History
The airline was established on 4 August 1961 as Yemen Airlines and started operations in 1962. It was reorganized and renamed Yemen Airways in 1972, following nationalisation. The Yemenia name was adopted on 1 July 1978, following the joint establishment early in 1977 of a new airline by the governments of the Yemen Arab Republic, now Republic of Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. The operations of Aden-based Alyemda have been incorporated. The airline is owned by the Government of Yemen (51%) and the government of Saudi Arabia (49%).
In 2001 a fire burned the Yemenia headquarters in Sana’a.
