Kuwait Airways will resum operations from Terminal 4 at Kuwait International Airport, restoring flights to 17 destinations from Sunday, 26 April, following the reopening of the country’s airspace after a temporary suspension.

The move comes after the Directorate General of Civil Aviation lifted restrictions that had been in place since late February, when flights were halted as a precaution amid regional tensions, Al Seyassah newspaper reported.

Al Shatti said the resumption from Terminal 4 reflects the airline’s efforts to strengthen operational efficiency and enhance passenger services. 

He added that the carrier is fully prepared to manage varying operational conditions with flexibility, supported by structured plans to ensure continuity while maintaining safety and service standards.
