Felix Airways Limited, also known as Al Saeeda, (both meaning "Happy," from the Roman term for Yemen, Arabia Felix) is an inoperative regional airline based in Sanaa, Yemen. As of January 2026, it operates no flights and has a status of "Idle". In the past, the airline operated flights on a limited basis up until 2019.
History The airline was established in 2008 as a subsidiary of flag carrier Yemenia by the Islamic Bank for Development, to serve the growing market for low-cost travel in the region. In late October 2008, Felix Airways began domestic operations with CRJ 700 aircraft, and expanded both domestically and regionally.
Operations have been severely disrupted since 2015 due to the ongoing military conflict affecting its hub at Sanaa International Airport. From 2015 the airline, in common with the entire Yemeni tourist industry, suffered a near-complete reduction in activity due to the conflict and the siege in the region; Felix Airways flights were reported (in April 2019) to have declined from 55 to only 3 weekly flights. The airline originally also had two Bombardier CRJ700s, but one was destroyed by bombing at Sanaa International Airport in April 2015./photo/1
