Yemen says Houthi attack forced airliner to divert from Aden airport

An attack on an airport with a scheduled civilian arrival is a different risk category from military-to-military exchanges: it puts commercial flight planning, insurance and crew routing in the same blast radius as the conflict. The diversion to Jeddah also underlines how little redundancy exists in Yemen's surviving air links when a single runway incident forces an evacuation. Whether Aden remains a usable gateway, and whether insurers and carriers treat it as such, is the open question.
