Is Kuwait International Airport Open Today? Airport Remains Closed Due To Drone Attack By Iran

Kuwait International Airport (KWI) is not open for regular commercial passenger operations today, with all civilian flights suspended indefinitely due to ongoing security threats and damage from multiple Iranian drone strikes, including a fresh attack on a fuel tank that sparked a fire on March 25, authorities and aviation officials confirmed.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) stated that Kuwaiti airspace remains closed to non-military traffic following the escalation of the US-Iran war that began on Feb. 28. No reopening date has been announced, and officials said operations will resume only after comprehensive safety assessments, repairs to damaged infrastructure and clearance of regional airspace threats.
