Kuwait International Airport’s Terminal 1 has resumed operations after comprehensive security assessments and emergency repairs following the recent drone strike. Authorities confirmed that passenger services and flight schedules are gradually returning to normal, with enhanced safety protocols now in place.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation stated that structural inspections and fire safety checks were completed before reopening. Airlines have begun restoring services, though some international carriers continue to divert flights until full confidence in operational safety is assured.
Officials emphasized that heightened security measures, including advanced surveillance and reinforced perimeter defenses, will remain in effect to protect passengers and staff. The reopening marks a critical step in restoring connectivity and public confidence after the unprecedented attack on civilian infrastructure.
Kuwait’s government reiterated its commitment to safeguarding national security and ensuring uninterrupted aviation services, while regional partners continue to monitor the evolving situation in the Gulf.
