The three-day exchange will see flights transport prisoners between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's capital, Sanaa, said Majed Fadail, a deputy minister for human rights for Yemen's internationally recognised government.
Other flights will bring prisoners between Sanaa and other Yemeni cities controlled by the internationally recognised government, he said.
