Gateway to Yemen's ancient Hadhramaut Valley civilization.

Location

Seiyun, Yemen

Seiyun Hadhramaut International Airport (IATA: GXF, ICAO: OYSY) serves the city of Seiyun in the Hadhramaut Governorate of eastern Yemen. It functions as the primary air gateway to the Hadhramaut Valley, a region renowned for its unique mud-brick architecture and UNESCO-recognized historic towns such as Shibam. The airport has historically provided vital connectivity for the relatively isolated Hadhramaut region, linking it to Sana'a and other Yemeni cities as well as regional destinations. Due to the ongoing Yemeni civil war that began in 2015, operations have been significantly disrupted, with services fluctuating according to the security situation. Despite the instability, the airport remains an important lifeline for the local population and humanitarian operations in the Hadhramaut region. It has at times been under the influence of various factions during the conflict, affecting its operational status.

Terminals

The airport operates with a modest single terminal suited to the relatively low passenger volumes of the Hadhramaut region.

Getting to & from

Ground transport to and from the airport primarily consists of taxis and private vehicles, as Seiyun lacks a formal public transit network.

Airlines here

Yemenia (Yemen Airways) has historically been the primary carrier serving Seiyun, with limited regional connections.
