Tigray Monitor field staff have confirmed from the ground that Mekelle's Alula Aba Nega International Airport resumed flight operations today, October 11, 2026, following its suspension amid the ongoing conflict in Tigray. The resumed flight reportedly carried senior political and military figures, including Getachew Reda, Dr. Abraham Belay and other officials. Tigray Monitor's on-site staff confirmed the resumption of airport operations. The identities of individual passengers remain attributed to field reports pending separate documentation. The resumption represents a significant development in air transportation access to Mekelle. However, it does not necessarily indicate a broader improvement in security conditions or the restoration of all regional transportation services. Independent external verification of all passenger identities remains pending.
