A Yemeni official Saturday denied the reports about suspension of all Yemenia Air flights to Comoros following Tuesday's air crash of its Airbus A310 off the Comoran coast near the capital of Moroni.

Mohamed Abdel Qadir, a senior civil aviation official, told Xinhua that Yemenia flights to Comoros will continue according to schedule. The company is only to suspend its flights to Marseilles after families of the air crash victims staged demonstrations in front of its headquarters in the French city.

However, the official did not give a date for resuming flights to Marseilles.

Yemenia flights to other French cities and European countries will continue, He added.

Earlier reports said Yemenia Air suspended all flights to Comoros.

The Airbus A310 of Yemenia Air, on the way from Yemeni capital of Sana'a to Moroni, crashed in the Indian Ocean with 153 people on board half an hour before reaching its destination in Comoros. Only a 14-year-old French girl survived.

Rescue teams have succeeded on Wednesday to locate one of the plane's two black boxes.

The Yemenia Air is the national airline of Yemen, with 51 percent share held by the Yemeni government and 49 percent by the Saudi government.
