Kuwait International Airport, starting April 26, 2026, following a lengthy 55-day airspace closure. This phased reopening represents a significant turning point for

tourism industries.
According to the
Kuwait DGCA, airlines like
Kuwait Airways, Jazeera Airways, and
Qatar Airways are leading the charge, with bookings now open for flights from Kuwait to key destinations including
Amman, Beirut, Mumbai, Cairo, Kochi, Damascus, Delhi, Dubai, and
Istanbul in the first week.
Kuwait’s phased approach will first include limited operations at
Terminals 4 and 5, with full normal flights to resume once conditions allow.

17 international destinations, notably major hubs like
London, Dubai, and
Cairo.
The return of renowned airlines like
