IndiGo has temporarily suspended all flight operations to and from Kuwait following the closure of the country’s airspace by Kuwaiti authorities.
The move came after a drone attack targeted a passenger building at Terminal 1 of Kuwait International Airport. The incident led authorities to halt air traffic and divert flights to alternate destinations, causing major disruptions to commercial aviation services.
In a post on X, Kuwait Civil Aviation wrote, “All air traffic has been suspended, and flights are being diverted to alternative airports until further notice.”
Issuing a travel advisory, IndiGo stated, “In view of the ongoing airspace closure in Kuwait, our flight operations to and from Kuwait have been suspended until 1200 hrs on 4 June 2026. We understand the impact this may cause to your travel plans and sincerely regret the inconvenience. Please be assured that this precautionary measure has been taken with the safety and well-being of our customers and crew as our highest priority.”
The airline further said, “We remain in close coordination with the relevant aviation authorities and are continuously monitoring the situation. Flight services will resume as soon as conditions permit and safe operating corridors become available.”
