Open up Sanaa Yemen Airport

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To Home Office government
Please open up the Capital city of Yemen Sanaa airport at once as it has been closed for years since the conflict war began.
It is the first gate for the peace process.

Millions of yemenies across the globe couldn’t visit their families even those who were critically ill, last minute visit before death. People risk and go through the back unofficial route to arrive at their destination due to road blockade which take days involving fear of the road and the war.
Yemeni residence who are suffering from critical illness seeking medical treatment, pregnant women, casualties from the rural area face death or cannot arrive on time or travel to other countries.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about opening airports in Yemen are a matter for the Yemen authorities, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
