Passengers travelling to or through Kuwait International Airport should check their flight status before leaving for the airport. Authorities have temporarily suspended all takeoffs and landings following Iranian strikes linked to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
The disruption follows a sharp rise in regional tensions. The United States launched strikes on Iran, and Iran responded by targeting several locations in the region, including Kuwait, which hosts US military assets.
Airlines may continue to adjust their schedules as the security situation develops. Travelers should monitor announcements from their airline and Kuwait International Airport for the latest information.
The latest exchange of strikes comes despite a Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding signed in June to end the conflict and support a lasting peace agreement. The renewed violence has raised concerns about regional stability and the risk of further disruptions to air travel across the Gulf.
