I would submit that the more important factor, if it is a mechanical problem, isn’t so much that it’s an Airbus instead of a Boeing as it is that it is the Yemeni airline.
Third-world aircraft maintenance is... well, third world.
And not just any Third World, though, its Yemen.
Like Mos Eisley, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
