Air India has done some evac flights - I believe some of their A320/A321's were in Djibouti doing it.

Dont Matter now anyway.!!

Jets from a Saudi-led alliance have destroyed the runway of Yemen's Sanaa airport to prevent an Iranian plane from landing there, Saudi Arabia said, as fighting across the country killed at least 30 people.

Yemeni vice president Khaled Bahah had called on the Houthis to heed a UN Security Council demand for an end to fighting, which the Red Cross said has pushed Yemen into a humanitarian catastrophe.

Air force planes from the Saudi-led coalition bombed the runway of the country's main airport to stop an Iranian flight landing, officials from both sides said, in a move that will further complicate humanitarian efforts to fly urgently needed aid into Yemen.

Saudi-led coalition spokesman Brigadier General Ahmed Asseri said the airport was bombed after an Iranian aircraft refused to coordinate with the coalition and the pilot ignored orders to turn back.

He said the bombing of the runway made it unusable for planned aid flights.

Airport officials said the strikes set a civilian aircraft operated by Yemeni Felix Airways ablaze, adding that a cargo plane was also hit.

An official at the Yemeni civil aviation authority said the runway was targeted by 20 sorties that destroyed both the take-off and landing runways.
