Overview
- Kuwait’s Civil Aviation Authority temporarily closed national airspace as a precaution and diverted flights to alternative airports under established contingency procedures.
- The authority announced it has resumed normal operations at Kuwait International Airport and flights are running according to approved schedules.
- Officials framed the closure as a response to what they called 'reprehensible Iranian aggressions' and said the step was taken to protect civil aviation from potential risks.
- The Civil Aviation Authority said it is monitoring developments around the clock and coordinating with domestic and international bodies and will tighten restrictions again if threat assessments change.
- Passengers and airlines were urged to follow official channels for real-time updates and to expect that diverted flights and schedule adjustments may be confirmed or reversed as assessments evolve.
