History

The airline operated passenger services from Aden and served destinations in the surrounding region. During the 1960s, the end of British rule brought major political and administrative changes to Aden, including changes affecting aviation. Aden Airways ceased operations during the period of British withdrawal and the transformation of Aden's political status.
