Oman Air will resume scheduled flights to and from Kuwait on June 25 2026 the airline said in a statement issued on its official channels. The Omani flag carrier specified that operations will temporarily shift to Terminal 4 at Kuwait International Airport rather than the usual Terminal 1. The resumption ends a suspension in place since early March when regional airspace restrictions linked to conflict forced the cancellation of multiple routes.
Oman Air’s announcement advised all passengers to note the terminal change to avoid disruptions upon arrival or departure from Kuwait. The statement confirmed that the restored services will operate as originally scheduled prior to the hiatus. In its communication distributed via social media and the company website the carrier emphasised the importance of checking updates for seamless travel arrangements.
The suspension had begun on March 6 2026 after airspace closures across parts of the region according to reports from Anadolu Agency. Oman Air had extended cancellations to seven destinations including Kuwait until mid-April with the Kuwait route remaining offline longer than some others. Similar measures affected flights to Doha Baghdad and several other GCC and international cities as documented in updates from the carrier and regional news outlets.
Oman Air which maintains its hub at Muscat International Airport serves an extensive network of passenger and charter routes across the Middle East Europe and Asia. Historical records from the airline indicate that scheduled services to Kuwait first launched in January 1994 and have since supported significant business and family connections between the two countries. The route forms part of broader GCC air links that facilitate trade and mobility within the bloc.
Industry figures reported by Airways Magazine show that Oman Air carried nearly 6 million passengers globally in the preceding year representing an 8 percent increase from 2024 levels. The resumption of the Kuwait service comes as regional aviation steadily recovers with several carriers reinstating suspended routes amid easing restrictions. Kuwait International Airport has accommodated interim operations at Terminal 4 for various international flights during the recovery phase.
The airline continues to monitor regional conditions for any further adjustments to its schedule including a potential return to standard terminal usage at Kuwait. Passengers with existing bookings on the Muscat-Kuwait route have been directed to confirm details directly through Oman Air platforms. This step forms one element of the carrier’s efforts to rebuild its full GCC network following the months-long operational challenges.
