About Dathina Airport
Dathina Airport is a small airport serving Dathina town in Abyan Governorate, southern Yemen. It is located close to the town centre and is mainly used for local and small-aircraft operations rather than scheduled commercial flights.
The airport sits in the lowland region between Aden and the central highlands. The nearest major international gateway is Aden International Airport, roughly 166 km to the southwest, while the capital Sana'a lies around 270 km to the northwest.
Dathina Airport has limited infrastructure, with a single runway and basic ground facilities. Road links connect the airport with nearby communities such as Mudiyah and Lawdar, and with longer-distance routes toward Aden, Al Bayda and Sana'a.
Travelers using the airport generally continue by private car, arranged transfer or taxi, as public transport options are limited. Because passenger facilities are basic, planning transport and supplies in advance is recommended.
