Kuwait International Airport remains closed to all commercial passenger flights as of April 23, with no official reopening date announced despite high-level government inspections and growing frustration among travelers and airlines.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has repeatedly denied rumors of an imminent resumption, stressing that operations will restart only after full safety clearances, infrastructure repairs and regional airspace approvals are completed. The airport has been shuttered since Feb. 28, when drone strikes linked to the broader U.S.-Iran conflict damaged fuel depots, radar systems and other facilities, forcing a complete suspension of civilian flights.
