Kuwait Flights Resume April 26: Full Route List for Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways

Kuwait is slowly reopening its air routes, with flight operations set to resume at Kuwait International Airport on April 26, 2026. Both Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways are bringing back services in phases, starting with high-demand regional and international routes.

The initial schedules focus on key connections across the Middle East, India, and a few long-haul destinations like London and Manila. Frequencies are still limited for now, but more flights are expected to return as demand builds in the coming weeks.

What This Means for Travellers

Here’s the thing. This is not a full return yet. Flights are coming back in phases, and airlines are clearly testing demand before scaling up.

• Popular routes to India and the Middle East are getting priority
• Frequencies are limited on long-haul and secondary routes
• More destinations and flights are likely in the coming weeks

For travellers, that means better connectivity, but still some planning is needed. Fewer flights can mean higher fares and limited seat availability, especially on busy routes like India or London.

Final Take

The restart signals a steady recovery for Kuwait’s aviation sector. With both full-service and low-cost carriers back in action, the country is reconnecting with major travel hubs across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

If you’re planning to fly from Kuwait soon, it’s worth booking early and keeping an eye on schedule updates. Things are moving, but they’re not fully back to normal just yet.
