• The accident occurred while the plane was moving at Aden Airport in preparation for taking off to Sana’a Airport and from there to Queen Alia Airport in Jordan.
• A flock of migratory birds entered the left engine, which led to the cancellation of the take-off.
• Repairing the damage took 5 hours, as the plane took off from Aden to Sana’a and then set off on its way to Jordan.
