A flight from Aden International Airport carried Al-Zubaidi, accompanied by senior STC officials, to Al-Rayyan International Airport in the coastal city of Mukalla, the capital of Hadramout.

Al-Zubaidi received a formal and popular reception. Hundreds of citizens, carrying the flags of the state of South Yemen, gathered in front of Al-Rayyan Airport and the roads leading to it.
