Brothers Air Services, internationally known as BASCO was established in 1967 by Sayid Zein A. Baharoon following the end of British colonialism in Aden.[1] It operated in the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY) from 1967 to 1971 before its assets were nationalized and incorporated into the newly created Alyemda Airline.[2]

According to Erich Wiedemann, BASCO flew to Addis Ababa in neighboring Ethiopia, as well as to Assab.[3]

According to Olivier Roy, BASCO operated weekly flights between Aden and Brussels.[4]
