Kuwait International Airport's T1 resumes operations

Dhaka: Kuwait International Airport's Terminal 1 (T1) began a phased reopening on June 1, as Arab and international airlines resumed operations following the completion of repairs and upgrades.

Under the new procedures, check-in counters will close 90 minutes before departure for international flights and one hour before departure for GCC and Arab destinations. Passengers are advised to arrive early and confirm their flight status.

Ahead of the reopening, on May 30 and 31, the airport welcomed returning hajj pilgrims at Terminal 4, with families gathering to greet their loved ones.

Kuwait Airways played a central role in managing the returns, operating flights from Jeddah, Taif, and Madinah. The carrier also provided ground handling for Saudi Arabian Airlines and flynas passengers.

Acting CEO Abdulwahab Al-Shatti praised the smooth operations, crediting the airline's dedicated hajj and umrah committee and cooperation from all hajj campaign operators.
