TL;DR
There are no direct flights: you need a connecting route (usually via Cairo), booking either through a local Yemeni/Socotra tour operator or via the airline's official site or aggregators like trip.com.

One traveler asked about the safety of buying flights via trip.com for a Socotra trip — no reported issues, but double-check booking details and refund policies before paying.

Another traveler bought tickets on the airline's official website with a 2-night transit stopover en route; hotel meals and airport transfer were not included and had to be paid separately.

The original question was how to fly from Abu Dhabi to Socotra, and whether tickets can only be bought locally through a tour operator — replies suggest that's not the only option.
