Kuwait has resumed receiving and operating flights from Arab and international carriers at its main airport following the completion of repair and upgrade works, according to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

The reopening marks the start of a phased return to full operations at Kuwait International Airport, with passenger services restarting at Terminal 1. Authorities said the move is part of a structured plan to restore full capacity while maintaining operational efficiency.

A series of measures have been introduced to streamline air traffic flow and improve passenger procedures, as airport operators prepare for an increase in flight activity in the coming weeks. Officials said these steps are intended to ensure smooth operations across all services during the transition period.

The phased reopening follows the completion of infrastructure improvements and readiness upgrades designed to enhance overall airport performance. Authorities emphasised that the gradual return of operations aims to balance efficiency with safety standards for both travellers and airlines.

Officials added that the reopening is also intended to strengthen Kuwait’s air transport sector and improve the airport’s ability to meet rising demand from passengers and international carriers.
