Kuwait has reopened its airspace to civilian flights after a temporary suspension triggered by regional security concerns following Iranian military actions, according to the country's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
The authority announced on Thursday that normal flight operations have resumed at Kuwait International Airport after airspace restrictions imposed earlier in the day were lifted.
In a statement, GACA said it is continuing to closely monitor developments around the clock to ensure the safety and security of air travel operations.
The temporary closure was implemented as a precautionary measure amid heightened regional tensions after Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for attacks targeting U.S. military bases located in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain.
Following security assessments and coordination with relevant authorities, Kuwait decided to reopen its airspace and restore regular aviation services.
Kuwait International Airport is now operating normally, while aviation authorities continue to monitor the regional situation and take necessary measures to ensure passenger safety.
The development comes as several countries in the Middle East remain on heightened alert amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and security concerns.
