Hodeida International Airport (HOD)

ICAO: OYHD Hodeidah, Yemen UTC+03:00 Operational status requires confirmation

Hodeida International Airport is located in Al Hudaydah, on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, at approximately 14.7530003°N and 42.9762993°E. It is an international-designated airport with a highly constrained commercial aviation profile. The supplied airport record states that Yemenia suspended routes in 2015 and that no scheduled services were recorded as of 2021. Accordingly, our service team treats this location as a movement requiring advance operational validation rather than as a routine scheduled-airline gateway. Cargo acceptance, airside access, customs handling, security arrangements, and onward delivery must be confirmed case by case before any quotation or booking is issued. The nearby port and the wider Hodeidah area may be relevant to multimodal planning, but airport, port, and road options must not be treated as interchangeable.

Airport name	Hodeida International Airport
Location	Al Hudaydah (Hodeida), Yemen
Codes	IATA: HOD \| ICAO: OYHD
Coordinates	14.7530003°N, 42.9762993°E
Time zone	UTC+03:00

Key Highlights

Schedule risk: the supplied record reports no scheduled services as of 2021; current availability must be reconfirmed before accepting cargo.
Ad hoc operating model: movements may depend on special, humanitarian, charter, or repositioning arrangements rather than a regular cargo timetable.
Red Sea logistics context: the airport serves a coastal city, but road, port, security, and airside conditions can change independently.
Documentation sensitivity: consignee identity, end use, commodity description, sanctions screening, and import permissions require early review.
Contingency planning is essential: our team normally evaluates alternative Yemeni gateways or sea-air and road-air combinations before cargo is released.

Cargo Facilities & Services

Published operational details for cargo terminals, temperature-controlled rooms, dangerous-goods stores, bonded areas, handling equipment, and working hours should not be assumed from the airport’s international designation. Our service team confirms each facility element with the operating party before shipment acceptance.

Acceptance and handling

Confirm whether an active cargo acceptance point, ground handler, screening process, and build-up capability are available for the proposed movement.

Customs and controlled cargo

Pre-clear the availability of customs attendance, inspection arrangements, temporary storage, and any bonded or government-controlled handling process.

Temperature-sensitive shipments

Do not tender pharmaceuticals, vaccines, perishables, or other temperature-sensitive cargo until power supply, storage duration, monitoring, and recovery procedures are confirmed in writing.

Dangerous goods and special cargo

Acceptance of dangerous goods, lithium batteries, live animals, valuables, outsized pieces, or humanitarian cargo depends on the actual carrier, handler, aircraft, and local approvals.

Routes & Transit Times

No regular airline route, cargo frequency, or current carrier allocation should be presumed for Hodeida International Airport. Our team obtains a live operating confirmation before proposing a routing.
Potential solutions may involve a confirmed special movement, an approved charter arrangement, or routing through another Yemeni or regional gateway followed by controlled road or sea-air transfer; the exact option depends on permits, security, and carrier acceptance.
Transit time is affected by aircraft availability, airspace restrictions, sanctions and screening checks, customs attendance, handling resources, road security, and the final delivery location.
We provide a firm transit estimate only after validating the complete chain from origin acceptance through final-mile delivery. Any preliminary timing is indicative and subject to operational confirmation.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Hodeida International Airport is relevant primarily to Hodeidah and nearby Red Sea communities. The commercial practicality of air freight is determined by the final consignee, road access, security conditions, and whether an active airport handling chain exists at the time of shipment.

Humanitarian and relief cargo: medical supplies, shelter materials, water and sanitation equipment, and emergency response items may require NGO, government, carrier, and consignee coordination.
Essential commercial goods: urgent spare parts, industrial components, communications equipment, and other time-critical cargo may be considered subject to import and sanctions screening.
Food and perishables: acceptance depends on confirmed cold-chain capacity, inspection arrangements, packaging endurance, and reliable onward transport.
High-value or controlled goods: electronics, dual-use items, medicines, and security-sensitive products require enhanced end-user, licensing, and routing review.

Operations & Compliance

Book only after acceptance: obtain written confirmation of the operating carrier or handler, cargo cut-off, documentation cut-off, screening method, and delivery procedure. There may be no standard published cut-off.
Prepare complete documents: commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill instructions, certificate of origin where required, import authorization, consignee identification, end-use statement, and any humanitarian or government letters should be ready before uplift planning.
Declare special cargo accurately: dangerous goods declarations, lithium-battery details, temperature requirements, live-animal documents, and security-related information must match the physical cargo and applicable carrier rules.
Plan inspection and collection: customs examination, cargo release, storage, escort, vehicle access, and consignee collection may require advance coordination and can be affected by local security or administrative restrictions.

Risk control: our service team will not represent a provisional route as an active scheduled service. Cargo should not be dispatched to the airport until acceptance, permits, and receiving arrangements are reconfirmed.

Shipping Tips

Send the full shipment profile at enquiry stage: commodity, HS code, pieces, dimensions, gross weight, value, battery or chemical content, consignee, end user, and final delivery address.
Use robust export packaging with moisture protection and clear piece-level marks. For fragile, medical, or temperature-sensitive cargo, agree the packaging and monitoring method with the confirmed handler before packing.
Build a documented fallback route through a suitable regional gateway or multimodal solution. Compare total landed cost, border formalities, security exposure, and delivery feasibility rather than comparing air rates alone.
Keep consignee and broker contacts continuously reachable during uplift, customs inspection, and release. Our team recommends retaining scanned originals and locally acceptable copies of all permits and commercial documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hodeida International Airport receive routine export cargo today?

Routine acceptance cannot be assumed. The supplied record reports no scheduled services as of 2021, so our team first verifies current airport access, carrier or charter availability, handling, security, and customs arrangements.

Can we book a fixed transit time to Hodeidah?

Not before a live operating plan is confirmed. Transit depends on the aircraft or gateway, permissions, inspection requirements, security conditions, and final-mile delivery. We issue a firm estimate only after these elements are validated.

Are dangerous goods or lithium batteries accepted?

Acceptance is shipment-specific and carrier-specific. Provide the UN number, proper shipping name, packing instruction, battery test information where applicable, and complete package details for a formal review.

Is a temperature-controlled service available?

It must be confirmed in advance. Do not tender pharmaceuticals, vaccines, or perishables until the actual storage, power, monitoring, handling, and contingency capabilities are documented.

What is the best alternative if airport acceptance is unavailable?

Our team evaluates another approved regional gateway, a multimodal sea-air option, or controlled road-air routing based on cargo type, permits, security, consignee location, and total delivery risk.

Data Sources & Provenance

The airport name, codes, location, coordinates, time zone, address, and the recorded scheduled-service status in this module are based on the supplied airport record. Operational details that can change rapidly—such as airport access, handlers, customs attendance, security procedures, carrier acceptance, route availability, and transit time—must be reconfirmed for each shipment.

Code and aviation reference cross-checks: iata.org and icao.int.
These domains are provided as authoritative aviation reference points; they do not replace a live acceptance confirmation from the relevant carrier, airport operator, handler, customs authority, or local logistics partner.
No unverified runway, terminal, cargo-terminal area, throughput, warehouse, airline schedule, handling fee, or service certification data is presented.

Last operational confirmation should be obtained before cargo dispatch, especially for humanitarian, controlled, dangerous-goods, temperature-sensitive, high-value, and time-critical shipments.
