KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait

Directorate General of Civil Aviation spokesperson Abdullah Al-Rajhi denied reports of an airline announcement on resumption of transit flights from October 1.
Earlier, Jazeera Airways had issued a statement saying it would resume hub operations from next month.
However, Al-Rajhi told Kuwait News Agency that the announcement was false and no airlines received notification of such resumption.
Al-Rajhi urged airlines at Kuwait International Airport to verify information with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation before issuing announcements.
Only Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways operate authorized schedules at the airport amid security concerns over potential Iranian missile and drone attacks, with commercial overflights and transit routing banned until at least October 2, 2026.
