Kuwait International Airport did not open or resume normal operations on Monday as regional conflict continued to disrupt aviation in the Gulf nation, with repeated Iranian-linked drone strikes damaging critical infrastructure including radar systems and fuel facilities.
As of March 30, 2026, the airport stayed closed to regular commercial passenger and most cargo flights, according to official statements and flight tracking data. No new inauguration or reopening occurred despite earlier speculation and social media rumors about possible partial operations or a new terminal launch. Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation has maintained the suspension that began in late February following the escalation of the 2026 Iran-related regional war.
