Kuwait Airways is preparing to restart its flights to major cities in India such as Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Kochi from April 5. According to the airline, these flights can be operated through Dammam Airport. The airline is planning to add more new destinations in the future, considering the regional security situation and passenger demand. However, operation of flights is still under intense discussion due to the current security situation.
What is the latest update regarding Kuwait Airways flights?
India’s Ambassador to Kuwait Parimita Tripathi met Captain Abdulmohsen S. Al-Fagaan, Chairman of Kuwait Airways on 30 March 2026. The main objective of this meeting was to restart flights amid the regional security situation. Both sides spoke at length to ensure the safe travel of the Indian community. At present, Kuwait’s international airport is facing some restrictions due to security reasons and flights will be completely normal only after official confirmation.
Main points related to passenger convenience and current situation
Below are some important information for expatriates traveling between Kuwait and India that may affect their travel:
alternative route: Other airlines such as Jazeera Airways currently use Saudi Arabia’s Qaisumah Airport (AQI).
Flight suspension: Akasa Air has postponed its flights to Doha, Riyadh and Kuwait till 5 April 2026.
Starting city: Kuwait Airways plans to first launch services to Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Kochi.
Security Check: Kuwait Civil Aviation Affairs is monitoring the situation of the airspace until safe operations are confirmed.
This situation is directly impacting those Indians who work in Kuwait or visit there frequently. With the resumption of flights, it will be easier for the migrants to travel and the ticket prices are also expected to get relief.
