Director of Yemen's Hodeidah international airport on Wednesday denied reports that Shi'ite Muslim Houthi movement has extended its control to the Red Sea port of Hodeidah.
These reports are groundless and totally false, said Khaled El Kahlany, adding that all flights are processed normally.
Hodeidah is the second largest port in the impoverished Arabian peninsula nation after Aden, a southern city on the Gulf of Aden.
