Riyan International Airport (IATA: RIY, ICAO: OYRN) is located near Mukalla, the capital of Hadhramaut Governorate in southeastern Yemen. It serves as the primary air access point for the region, handling both domestic and limited international traffic. The airport has faced significant operational disruptions due to the ongoing Yemeni civil conflict that began in 2015, which has severely affected aviation infrastructure and scheduled services throughout the country. Despite these challenges, it has periodically handled humanitarian and relief flights in addition to commercial operations. The facility is situated in the Riyan area, a short distance from the city of Mukalla along the Arabian Sea coast, and serves a strategically important region known for its oil industry and historical significance.
