The resumption of services may indicate a gradual return to normalcy for Kuwait's aviation sector, which could strengthen the country's connectivity within the region. The phased approach suggests a cautious strategy, which may be necessary given the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the need for ensuring safety and security.
National Carriers Restart Limited Operations Amid Phased Airport Reopening
Kuwait’s national carriers, Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways, have resumed limited direct operations from Kuwait International Airport (KWI) after a 55-day closure due to Iranian retaliatory strikes. The airlines will operate from Terminals 4 and 5, respectively, with a restricted daily window. The reopening follows an open-ended extension of the US-Iran ceasefire, as reported by AeroTime.
