Good news for those planning to visit Kuwait. After the Kuwait International Airport cautiously reopened its doors to direct international flights, India and Kuwait have moved quickly to formalise momentum on the ground. The two sides discussed strengthening bilateral cooperation in the aviation sector and, more immediately, facilitating the early resumption of scheduled flight operations by Indian carriers from Kuwait.
On May 4, Sameer Kumar Sinha, Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, held a virtual meeting with the President of Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation, H.E. Sheikh Hamoud Mubarak Hamoud Al-Sabah.
The meeting, brief in its public disclosure but significant in its timing, signals that New Delhi is pushing to ensure Indian airlines are not left behind as Kuwait gradually rebuilds its aerial connectivity after more than two months of near-total disruption.
Kuwait International Airport had remained largely cut off from direct international services since February 28, a casualty of the broader aerial disruption caused by the ongoing West Asia conflict. The ceasefire remains elusive, but the situation has shifted enough for limited operations to resume. On April 27, Kuwait’s low-cost carrier Jazeera Airways operated its first direct flights out of the country since the closure, connecting Kuwait to Beirut, Cairo, Istanbul and Mumbai.
