Kuwait air travel resumes to 17 destinations as airspace reopens, airport remains closed

Kuwait Airways plans to resume service to 17 destinations from April 26 as Kuwait's airspace reopens after a two-month closure. The move signals a partial restoration of international connectivity despite ongoing disruptions to the aviation sector in the region.

Kuwait International Airport remains closed to all commercial passenger flights as of April 23, with no official reopening date announced. High-level government inspections continue, while travelers and airlines report growing frustration over the continued restrictions.

Reports note that airspace corridors in West Asia were reopened by Kuwait and Israel, reflecting broader regional adjustments to travel routes amid the disruptions.
