As of 2021, there are no longer any scheduled services at the airport after Yemenia suspended all routes in 2015 due to the ongoing regional conflict.[1] Previously, the airline served a handful of domestic and international destinations.

The base is home to Al Hudaydah Air Base which is home to the Al Hudaydah Air Brigade which consists of 6 Squadron and a detachment from 128 Squadron.[2]
Yemeni Civil War and Israel Hamas war
The airport was heavily involved in the conflict and was the scene of the Battle of Hudaida. The Saudi-led coalition moved to capture the airport on June 13, 2018, the first day of the Battle of Hudaida.[3][4] The airport was partially captured by coalition forces in June 2018, though Houthi forces still control part of the complex.[5]
In June 2024, British and American forces carried out strikes on Hodeidah Airport and locations in Yemen, targeting Houthi assets.[6]
