be able to overcome that?Perhaps in such a case, I might get closer to revealing the secret of the sense of joy and pleasure Eric creates wherever he goes when he takes shots. This might happen as soon as he longs for Yemen and comes back one day.He humbly says with much of the simplicity that we are familiar with, and love very much:“I see Yemen as a very welcoming country, far from the image that might be promoted erroneously through media. As I have been to Yemen when I was a kid, I was 9, I met people with strong traditions, all with big guns, but smiling and taking care of me when visiting the villages! Since then, I have visited Yemen Five or Six times to see the diversity of the country: Paradise Islands, Deserts, Architecture, UNESCO towns ... I think Yemen has the best preserved culture in the Arabic world, and it has to maintain it in the future. In my world, Yemen’s presence is very strong, even my wife has fallen in love with this country too. She has been there 16 times! So we share the same passion! We just need to go to Soqotra and discover it. It’s the last place where we haven’t been!”In front Of The Camera, Not Behind It:Finally, I am well confident by now that the camera and the equipment are not what produce those wonderful albums that we browse on the website: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mytripsmypics It’s only the artist who creates such beauty. I also became convinced that Eric Lafforgue does not stand behind the camera, but in front of it. I can not imagine him as any other photographer hiding behind the camera, looking through the lens towards the world, but I find him on the opposite side, standing in front of the camera, stretching his hand to the world in a friendly invitation to enter through a new lens to the world of marvelous photography. It is the world of Eric Lafforgue. Speaking about him never ends easily, despite his usual extraordinary simplicity. That’s why I can’t introduce him quickly in this limited space. It is better to leave his camera speak and let the picture reflect what it has in the epic of exceptional photography.What a difference here between taking pictures for the world for the sake of happiness and photographing the world in a creative work beyond the borders of cultures, ethnic and language barriers. I cannot find a counterpart for this artist except in the world of music of Yanni made for one world and
the whole world, a world of love and what humanity can share through audio pleasure. Eric’s world is also opening up a world of cultural and visual comfort.There is no room for lifeless things. Everything has a spirit, even the old buildings and narrow neighborhoods. Everything reflects its inside even the solid rocks, and that is what Eric is searching for as an exceptional artist, and there he builds a unique, real, inspiring world which is full of fascinating delight and surprise.
An Extra Ordinary Photographer From His Testimonials: “Sometimes words aren’t enough. Your
work is without doubt the best I’ve seen on Flickr by a long way and it inspires me - thank you”
bob: davis “If one day you need to see how the world is, how people can be different and similar at the same time, how life flows all around this Planet and specially, if one day you need to spend hours watching and enjoying the Best Photography, then this is the place for that, Eric’s Photography is as full of life as the real world is, strongly recommended for every Photography and Humans lovers. Thanks for sharing this with us, thanks for teaching us how a great Photographer must be. “
Fotonstudio “Eric’s photostream is a must, here on Flickr .... he has the ability to capture the very essence of people and their culture in a way that no one else does ... after viewing his stream (his North Korea set, for example) you have seen not only what the country looks like, but much more importantly, come to understand something of the life and hopes of the individuals he photographs.A combination of greal skill, a wonderful eye and the ability to capture the perfect moment makes Eric’s photostream my favorite place to spend a Sunday afternoon..
VinaPix “I have been associated with photography since 1965, as a learner, as a photographer, as a teacher and as a Semi-professional. I have participated in camera clubs and various competitions and have seen many photographs that could equal Eric’s images but I have rarely seen the work of a photographer that is so consistently great as the work of Eric Lafforgue. The images he has made of various countries and the people of those countries show tremendous quality and cause me to be in awe.
Flickr is well represented by this photographer. “ Rbracy1943“Eric’s photography is what I would like my photography to be one day. He is nothing but inspiration threw his lens. He shows us the beauty that life has to offer threw the colors and many faces of the world. Eric I tip my hat to you. Your photography is amazing and inspiring to the world of photographers.Robert Lio
23
man’s face anywhere else, and whether it’s a place or a face, they are all living and communicating in his world of photography.But here too, we approach the most difficult question again, what does this creative photographer do to us? That is what he does to those in Yemen. It is not easy to portray people here, there are customs and traditions that apply and the least among these is the misunderstanding that could arise. That ‘misunderstanding’ led a woman to strike my hand with a stick while I was taking a picture of a female shepherd at el Dhabab district of Taiz. That shepherd was an old woman aged 60 years at least. Yet, a creative photographer could overcome such barriers because what he does with his camera is more than merely recording a moment or using light and color.A “Self-taught” photographerEric also reveals that he never got any professional advice and that he decided to take photos the way he thought appropriate and publish and send them to editors and magazines when he started his track a couple of years ago.It’s not amazing to know that the advice he offers to other photographers is: “Do what
you like, as photography, if you want to become a pro, requires a lot of work: legend, tags, keywords, stories etc… It’s a full time job: so do what you like to enjoy.”You can spend a great lot of time browsing through the Award Winning Artist, Eric Lafforgue>s online photo galleries. The photos that always boast rich travelling experience and deep knowledge of the cultures of the places where he took them. Eric believes that travelling provides great opportunities for the traveler to see things in a very different way. To experience things differently. He thinks that reality is very much different from what you see through television screens and what you hear through media. The best way to reveal the truth is to see through your eyes and communicate your vision through photography in the way he does. He goes hunting for his ideas, searching for what he thinks would be interesting to people. He says that the chance he had to travel and live abroad with his parents at his childhood contributes to the way he looks to the world.Through his photographs you realize how much we humans are very different from one another and at the same time, you feel
that we are so much similar. That is just some of the astonishing characters of his luminous works.
Transforming The World Into A Studio A real magician is capable of stirring a sense of amusement and joy that is reflected on the faces of people, while it’s quite difficult to find that kind of joy in pictures coming out of camera-equipped studios. Here is another reason to show admiration for what Eric achieved in such a short period. He made the vast open world a studio of his own where he could make portraits as he may wish, isn’t that another form of magic?In such a setting, the artist’s world is truly one of a free creation coming from intuition directly. Thus, the Art of Photography does not lie in the equipment. It lies in the photographers eye of the mind. It’s an approach to personal expression and the capability of communicating ideas. That is to express the artist’s perceptions and emotions and to share them with others.
A new breed of photographyI have always wondered how I would look through Eric’s camera, because I never remember smiling for a camera. Would Eric
22
anything related to technical terminology, style and/or philosophical concepts, color, etc. .. not because any of that isn’t important, but because Eric is simply not familiar with them either. I don’t believe that creative artists -since creativity and artistry were introduced- had ever known them. The real artist is always one or two steps ahead of the critics.
The Incredible Achievement: Taking The Lead In Such A Short Period All notable photographers that I have came across had anything between ten and fifty years of a career in the art of photography. I never heard about any great photographer that wasn’t a professional for ten years at least. Yet, today, I can confidently take a risk in stating a new fact in Al-Yemenia Magazine, which is the first printed Arab Airline magazine, confirming that ‘Eric Lafourgh has become one of the world’s top travel photographers within just four years of extraordinary creativity in the art of photography’.Eric Lafforgue was born in 1964 and lives in Toulouse, France.Ever since he was young, he has been fascinated by far away countries and travelling, and spent some time in Africa, unknowingly retracing Monfried and Joseph Kessels footsteps when he was 10 years old in Djibouti, Ethiopia and Yemen.Following a trip to Papua New Guinea, Kubik took notice of his work and published a book containing his photos. Soon after, magazines from all over the world began using his work for illustrations on North Korea, the tribes of Ethiopia, etc.Eric Lafforgue spends most of his time travelling and sharing his encounters on the web. He is passionate about the places he visits and is particularly interested in regions or populations in danger, and the road less-travelled.His work has been published in Time Magazine, National Geographic, The New York Times, CNN Traveller, BBC, Sunday Times, Lonely Planet, GEO, International Herald Tribune, Corriere Della Sera, Le Monde, The Times, La Stampa, India Today, and Afar.What are you looking for, by traveling with your cameras around the world? Eric: I just try to show the beauty of the world and the characters of the people. Some photographers tend to show poverty or pain, I have chosen to show the other side!Photos taken by Eric for Yemen are not the finest in his album but those taken in Guinea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Libya,
Eritrea and some other countries are really breathtaking as described by admirers. However, the pictures of Yemen reveal his trend in the art of photography and the simplicity which happens to be one of the secrets behind the brilliance of his works.
The Talent Of Creating Joy And PleasureAnother remarkable characteristic of Eric’s talent could be explained through his photo for a girl with a veil who is supposed to avoid the camera lens. Yet, amazingly, the snapshot reflects a visible smile with genuine pleasure behind that veil and a sparkle of glamour in her eyes. This ability to create pleasure is yet another exclusive secret of this exceptional and wonderful photographer who was repeatedly asked about it.I myself asked him a similar question,“How do you succeed to make all those people around the world look so happy in
front of your camera?”Eric: “I first try to have some time with them. It’s not always easy, as I do not speak many languages, but I think it is extremely inappropriate to go, shoot, and leave! I usually give a lot of Polaroids too, people are always happy to have a picture!”Well that’s truly a straight and simple creative innovation with no complications in a world full of theories that only bring more complications and chaos. This fabulous photographer is also a poet too, composing poems with passion through faces by his camera. That is another exclusive feature that makes him distinguished in his ability to communicate the message through photos very effectively; such as revealing the sorrow of a deserted mud building standing anywhere in the world until Eric comes to get it out of its isolation and stillness or even communicating the expressions on an old
21
Eric: “Well, I took pictures in Papua New Guinea in a style that was ‘new’ and many magazines such as Geo, Nat Geo, etc loved them, so they took them! I cover destinations which are not well covered by tourists and travelers such as Eritrea, Libya, Vanuatu, Danakil, etc, which gave me a much better advantage with Magazines than if I was covering places like Paris, London or New York! Finally, I kept using in much of my works a ‘Raw Format’, which offers the opportunity to digitally develop the pictures, giving much more of the real colors and atmosphere in print outs. I think that this is very important,
as much of the photographers tried to keep using films until recently, while using films doesn’t offer the same range of capabilities and possibilities”. Certainly , the answer was not sufficient, at least to me. I am not much into technical issues. Although, I am convinced that today’s technologies are making part of the difference, especially in terms of quality. Yet, I am much more interested in knowing ‘the role of the photographer’ in creating fabulous pictures. An everlasting question that has been repeatedly discussed and analyzed since the first beginnings including paintings on the walls of caves,
sculptures, photography of water/oil, leading to modern photography and what is known today as fine arts photography.
The role of the photographer It’s the role that Eric performed perfectly, which ended by publishing his pictures on Flickr website and succeeded to attract hundreds of thousands of users if not millions. Those pictures that offered a source of inspiration for many because they represented an exceptional event in the community of digital photography. I will not be involved in any kind of criticism as I am not up to that, and I will not discuss

Five years ago, no one really knew Eric Lafforgue in the world of photography. He started taking photographs in 2006 as a traveler and published his pictures on the internet. But his success has been startlingly rapid. Soon after first posting his pictures on the website Flickr he began to get professional commissions, and within just a few years he has come to be regarded as one of the world’s best travel photographers.
Yahoo’s Flickr StunnedEven the advent of today’s fast moving, ever-changing digital world of quick Web access, smart phones and tablet devices, is not quite well enough to explain the achievements of Eric in the world of
photography. He published the pictures he took as a traveler of places and faces on a website that has tens of millions of images and tens of thousands of photographers. But why was he to become one of the most prominent members of Flickr attracting thousands of users in such a short time. That itself amazed the website staff and they started looking for answers too. They published the interview they made with Eric on the same website,. Yet, it didn’t provide any real answers to what was behind this stunning success. Later on, Yahoo made another interview with Eric but questions seemed to be concentrated on getting Eric’s recognition and appreciation of Yahoo’s and Flickr’s role in his spectacular success.
Those questions lead to obtaining his assurance to continue publishing and posting his photographs on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photosmytripsmypics/That only demonstrated how significant were Eric’s photographs to one of the top three sites on the planet, but still nothing much to explain what was behind Eric’s amazingly rapid success.So I decided to contact Eric in search for the valuable answer I was eager to get.
The Secrets of Success“How did you achieve such a remarkable success in the world of photography in a very short period?”

Hospitality knows no bounds.
From being invited to tea or a wedding,
having your taxi paid for or being given a
wedge of the precious and omnipresent qat,
The scale and lengths to which a Yemeni will
go to make you feel welcome will never fail
to surprise you.
Generous And Admirable Women
by Kate Heinriech
Three months ago I came to Yemen to study
Arabic. Being half a world away from my
family and friends has been difficult, but
meeting Yemeni women has been a wonderful
blessing. I have had the opportunity to meet
educated and uneducated women, young and
old, single and married. As I have become
friends with my teacher and visited with
women in their homes I have learned many
things about Yemeni women. Women of
Yemen love their families and work very
hard to take care of their parents, brothers,
sisters, husbands, and children. Women of
Yemen love their friends and neighbors.
I have been warmly welcomed into homes
and invited to weddings. Women of Yemen
love their country and desire to have a
positive influence. Women of Yemen love
their god. I believe this is the origin of their
values and what motivates their kindness to
others and desire to live an honorable life.
As a follower of Jesus I have appreciated the
respect women of Yemen show to those of
other beliefs. Jesus alone has given me hope.
He is the most important part of my life. I
share the desire of Yemeni women to please
17
of the people of Jibla become especially
apparent in their practice of wedding feasts.
Most people of Jibla are farmers descended
in long lineages from the people of
surrounding countryside. A minority consists
of government officials and immigrants from
other regions. In different seasons, a number
of local visitors and foreign tourists come
to the city to learn about its rich heritage.
Yemenis come to while away the summer
morning and nights and foreign tourists spend
their holidays here too.
Unique History, Magnificent Scenery, And
Charming People
Yemen is a country of contrasts, from the
vestige inducing mountain top villages of
the Haraz to Plush green terraced slopes of
mount Saber in Taiz, and from the hustle and
bustle of Socotra.
It has now been five months since I arrived in
Yemen and I can honestly say that I still can’t
quite believe it.
It was in line to become UNESCO world
heritage site but wasn’t enough. I spend
my weekends relaxing in stunning wades
or raising along terrifyingly beautiful roads
from one picturesque ancient fortress villages
to the next.
The scale of Yemen is history and culture
seems unimaginable. Noah’s ark, the queen
of Sheba, ancient frankincense routes and
mud skyscrapers in the desert, but it is the
Yemeni people who really make a stay here
memorable.
Don’t be fooled by the daggers (or the
occasional Kalashnikov)

bright side, I was told that Yemeni people
were very welcoming. After one week spent
in Sana’a, I can certainly say to which extent
the little statement is true! The people here
really are amusing. I cannot think of any
other place in the world where I received
such a warm welcome contrary to what I
was told. I feel that most of the people here
are very open minded contrary to what I was
told, Yemen (or at least Sana’a) is anything
dangerous. I even feel safer here than in my
town back in France. Finally, I really don’t
think of Yemen as a backward place. Its
features, a lot of old buildings which in my
opinion, in what makes Yemen an unique
and beautiful.
I confirm, Yemen as tremendously authentic,
beautiful and warmly welcoming. I have the
feeling that my month here is going to be
much too short, I will definitely be back. God
willing.
The Essence of Civilization
By Katja Kumar
The very moment I arrived to Yemen I was
impressed by the beauty of the country,
culture diversity, its nature, architecture but
especially by the warmth, friendliness and
hospitality of its people.
I was nicely welcomed in every Yemeni city
and village I visited.
I spent a great time with Mammari families
and with them and I saw the way how people
live in Yemen.
I enjoyed my time discovering the nature
and the sites with local men and learned a lot
about Yemeni traditions, food and religion
with Yemeni women.
Jibla: Amazingly Glamorous
By James Dalton
A thousand year old hilltop town surrounded
by plush green slopes, that feels more like
South America than a mere four hour drive
from the dusty streets of Sana’a.
After ten minutes at neck-breaking speed, on
the back of a motorbike from Ibb we were
delighted to be able to use our now slightly
shaky legs to walk the short distance up a hill
to the town centre. Unfortunately the sights
of Jibla would have to wait, as our less than
perfect sounding motorbikes had apparently
made the entire town aware of our presence.
We were instantly ‘tafudled’ (a Yemeni
phenomenon) and led along the labyrinth
like lanes to the imam’s house for tea. After
a seemingly endless number of steps we
arrived on the roof of the house and found
ourselves staring down upon a town which
had barely changed since the 12th century:
The minarets of the Queen Arwa mosque
blaring out the Friday call to prayer, the
omnipresent Yemeni qat chewer making his
way through the winding cobbled streets and
the Ba’adan Mountains cloaked in dark and
menacing rain clouds in the background.
After five cups of tea, and after finally
managing to convince our host that there
really was nothing else that he could do for us,
we made our way down to the Wadi skirting
the town in the bottom of the valley. A group
of boys were playing football, occasionally
stopping to let an old man or car pass, goats
and sheep searched the Wadi’s banks for
previously undiscovered food, and we were
able to watch the sunset over an impossibly
perfect and peaceful town.

Bir Ali
Where A Mountain, A Desert And An Ocean
Meet
In Bir Ali, the beach is so beautiful it seems
unreal.
The sand is white and the water is a clear,
crystal blue with gentle waves. There are
no buildings, only thatched beach cabins.
Because of this it is very quite and really feels
as though you are getting away from it all.
It is nice for a day trip from Al mukalla, but
even better to bring some friends and spend
a night grilling and barbequing on the beach
and sleeping in a thatched beach cabin.
Swimming and relaxing on white sand
beaches, enjoying the history and atmosphere
of a beautiful port city and seeing a different
side of Yemen are all reasons to include a visit
to Al mukalla on your journey through Yemen.
A Spirit of Warm Hospitality
Written by :Will Dobson
Having arrived in Yemen barely before 72
hours, I hardly feel in a suitable position
to give a valid opinion of this ancient
civilization. However, on first impression,
there seems no doubt that this is a truly
beautiful country.
Although old Sana’a has little esthetic,
contrast could not be greater in the old city,
place seemingly caught in time, its ancient
buildings rising from the ground like mini–
skyscrapers.
However, it is the hospitable nature of the
people which, I believe, has so far left the
most profounding impression on me.
Having lived in England, where everyone
is suspicious of others, the warmth and
welcoming nature of the people is as
surprising as it is pleasing.
The street seller who invites you to sit with
him and drink tea, (no purchase necessary)
or the taxi driver who offers you some of his
precious Qat, I even got out to lunch with a
Yemeni professor (friend of a friend) and
when I enquired about the price, was told it
had been taken care of. It is this kindness of
spirit which assures that I will enjoy the next
6 weeks.
Friendly People in a Safe Country
Written By: Lounis
Yemen really is a beautiful country. Even
much better than I expected. Before I left
France one week ago I had heard a lot of
things about Yemen, few of them were nice.
I was told the country was backward and
dangerous, among other prejudices. On the

To see a side of Yemen completely different
from Sana’a,
take a trip to Al Mukalla.
Al Mukalla is a beautiful city by the sea. The
ubiquitous qat and jambiyyas of Sana’a are
difficult to find .
Due to its status as a port city, now and in
the past, a blend of Arab, African and Indian
heritage can be seen in the faces of the people
of Almukalla.
The architecture of the city reflects its seaside
character. For example, the minarets of many
Almukalla mosques resemble lighthouses
and most of the buildings are white, very
different from other places in Yemen.
Another unique thing about Al mukalla is the
abundance of small carts selling sambosa and
other fried treats, delicious and cheap at only
five to ten Rials a piece.
Also not to be missed is the fantastic
seafood.
Some excellent activities in Al mukalla
include a visit to the old city followed by
a stroll on the seafront promenade. My
favorite place in Almukalla is the river area
in the center of the city close to the sea. It is
especially nice to visit at night when the city
lights are reflecting off the water. The best
thing to do in this area during the evening
is to sit in a cafe, eat dinner, smoke sheesha,
and just enjoy the scenery and balmy evening
weather.
After dinner you can walk across the
pedestrian bridge and have some vanilla soft
serve ice cream.
If you have some extra time in Al mukalla,
a nice place to visit is the Qana tourist
complex at Bir Ali, one and half hour west
of Almukalla by car.

Like Nowhere Else
Mayoun (Perim) Island is just two miles away
from the coast. It’s a relaxing Island with
great snorkeling and diving opportunities in
the warm and clear water of the Red Sea.
The Island has been cited in ancient Greek
records. Shaykh Sa’id is the name of an
ancient port on Ras Bab-el-Mandeb. It exists
as a settlement until today. Shaykh Sa’id is
located on the north-west side of Ras Bab-
el-Mandeb.
The setting there is just amazing. As once
said by Mr. David Stanton, the chairman of
the Yemen Ornithological Society “Where
else can one sit on an Asian beach and watch
the Sun’s orb disappear behind African
mountains?”
Al Noor City, The City of Light
A couple of years ago, it was revealed that
there is a plan to build a bridge across the
strait, linking Yemen with Africa. The ‹Bridge
of the Horns› as it was named would be the
longest suspended passing in the world.
Located in Yemen on the beach front of the
Gulf of Aden and Bab el Mandab, a great city
would be built as part of the gigantic project.
It will be a globally integrated city that is said
to challenge human intellectual expectations,
commercial financing experiences, cultural
limitations and religious barriers. A first of
its kind.
The city aptly named “Al-Noor Yemen”
is based on a combination of leading-edge
master planning and design, interwoven with
Yemen history and cultural identity, to create
a truly international city that would be the
envy of any State or Nation.
The city is to provide global, physical and
virtual connectivity between Africa, Europe
and the Americas.
There is no doubt that Bab el Mandab shall
become in the near future much more strategic
to Yemen, the region and the whole world.

Bab el-Mandeb Strait is a chokepoint
between Yemen and Africa that connects
the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden on
the Arab Sea and the Indian Ocean. It’s
20 miles wide and is divided into two
channels by Mayoun (Perim) Island; the
western channel is 16 miles across, and the
eastern is 2 miles wide.
With the building of the Suez Canal, the
strait assumed great strategic and economic
importance, acting as a strategic link
between the Mediterranean and the Indian
Ocean. An estimated 4 million barrels of
oil pass through the strait per day.
According to Paleoanthropologic
hypothesis and even some religious
traditions too, the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb
were probably witness to the earliest
migrations of humans between Asia and
Africa, which occurred roughly 60,000
years ago.
A World Of Never-Ending Wonders
Flanking the mouth of the Red Sea, the gate
to the southwestern corner of the Arabian
Peninsula has so much to offer visitors
in addition to its delightful, pleasant and
unique coasts.
Within meters of those beautiful coasts
are dense coral reefs, stretching for miles;
and introducing one of the most diverse
ecosystems on our planet. Diving is
definitely an option; providing opportunities
to explore the world of marine life besides
the coral reefs. The Red sea is the habitat
of over 1,000 invertebrate species and 200
soft and hard corals and is the world’s
northernmost tropical sea.
The Gulf of Aden, which is just around
the corner is a superb place for surfing and
different kinds of water sports.
Eco-tourism and Bird Watching
“The sky get’s black with eagles!”
Bab elmandab is also an ideal place for
bird-watching, providing world-wide
birding experiences of superb quality.
It lies on the extreme southern edge of
the Palaearctic; and is certainly on a great
migration route. It presents one of the
World’s prime migration spectacles.
Hundreds of thousands of raptors
migrate across Bab el Mandab. Harriers,
Sparrowhawks, Kites, Falcons, Steppe

Yemen has always been an important trade link between the East and the West since ancient times. It is strategically located on the Bab el Mandeb strait and has been a central shipping hub for thousands of years too.

There is no doubt that the exceptional situation that Yemen has been experiencing and the circumstances Yemenia has gone through in the past few months disturbed many of Yemenia’s admirers and clients. Such concerns were clearly revealed through the large number of letters, emails and calls received by the company from clients inside and outside Yemen. All of those expressed their support for the company and extended sympathy and shared feelings. That affectionate response wasn’t surprising in respect of the deep-rooted relationship between Yemenia and its clients and admirers. The bond that has been established and strengthened for more than fifty years since the company launched its services as a commercial carrier in the sixties of the 20th century; and represented much more than merely an airline carrier for the Yemenis. It was a dream that came true to end isolation and a wish that was fulfilled and watched in the skies of reality. Yemenia, since then and up till now, has been playing a vital role contributing to Yemen’s cultural, civilizational and development progress. I would not be exaggerating to state that the relationship between Yemenia and its clients has exceeded the limits of a usual relation between a carrier and a client to a higher level of realistic and humane relationship based on affectionate feelings of correlation. The passion of Yemenia’s admirers and clients has contributed effectively to strengthening the company, its progress and development step by step; witnessing with it the good and bad times.Thousands of Yemenis have worked for the company. It has added much to the lives of men and women of different generations, and
they have contributed so much in its success and prosperity. It has always and remains to be a significant part of Yemen’s cultural and civilized image being the region’s longest established carrier combining the records of Yemenia and Yemda and its history is in fact the history of the airline industry in Yemen.
Dear passengers,A company that enjoys such a status in the hearts and minds of its clients through maintaining their trust; its understanding of its development, cultural and humane role is capable of getting through any crisis and exceptional circumstances by the will of God and through your continuous support and affection. All that In addition to the solidarity, commitment and loyalty of my co-workers who are demonstrating precious qualities to confirm the feasibility of the human development strategy embraced by the company all through the years. It is here where the efficiency of the principal that says ‘humans are the target and purpose of development’ is proven. I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all our clients and devoted admirers, to every single co-worker in Yemenia for their dedication and professionalism, and thank you very much for all those who are standing firmly besides Yemen to help it out of these exceptional circumstances to keep Yemenia more capable in facing challenges and Yemen thriving and stronger in the face of any crisis . From all of us at Yemen Airways, thank you for flying with us today.
A more capable Yemenia .. A greater Yemen
