Online Reviews Summary

Abd al-Kuri Air Base (YE-0017) is a military air base located on Abd al-Kuri Island, which is part of the Socotra archipelago in Yemen. Recent reports indicate that the construction of the air base has been completed and it is likely operational as of early 2025.

However, due to its nature as a closed military zone, there are no publicly available traveler reviews or experiences for Abd al-Kuri Air Base. The facility is not a commercial airport, and public access is severely restricted or non-existent, making it impossible to gather information on overall traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, security wait times, or transportation connections for the general public.

What Travelers Love
  • Not applicable: As a military installation, there are no public traveler services or amenities to review.
Common Complaints
  • No public access: The island, and therefore the air base, is a closed military zone, preventing civilian travel and review.
  • Lack of civilian infrastructure: The facility is designed for military operations, not commercial passenger services.
  • Forcible relocation of residents: Reports indicate that the UAE has relocated residents from Abd al-Kuri Island in recent years.

In summary, Abd al-Kuri Air Base (YE-0017) functions as a strategic military outpost, primarily associated with the UAE's presence in the region. Consequently, there are no "traveler reviews and experiences" available, as the base is not open to commercial or civilian air travel.
