Kuwait International Airport has resumed normal operations following a temporary suspension due to emergency repairs on one of the tarmacs, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) announced on Saturday.

According to Abdullah Alrajhi, Acting Deputy Director of DGCA, airport operations were halted early in the morning to facilitate urgent maintenance work. The suspension resulted in the diversion of three flights to neighboring countries, while four other flights had their schedules adjusted to accommodate the situation.

Following the successful completion of repairs, regular flight services resumed at 10:25 a.m. Alrajhi reassured passengers and airlines that the airport is now operating as usual and that measures were taken to minimize disruptions.

The DGCA has emphasized its commitment to passenger safety and operational efficiency. Travelers affected by the temporary disruption were provided with updated schedules to ensure minimal inconvenience. Authorities have also reinforced their maintenance protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
