Kuwait suspended all operations at Kuwait International Airport and closed its airspace on 18 July 2026, extending restrictions until at least 4 August due to renewed Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting US military sites and civilian infrastructure. The Public Authority for Civil Aviation enacted this precautionary measure after air defense systems intercepted multiple incoming threats, though Terminal 1 sustained significant damage requiring closure for repairs. Kuwait Airways rescheduled the majority of its flights while operators across the Persian Gulf adjust routing to avoid the OKAC/Kuwait FIR, where overflights remain prohibited. EASA advisory CZIB 2026-07 explicitly advises avoiding Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE airspace at all altitudes through 29 July, reflecting the escalation of the US-Iran conflict spilling into critical aviation corridors.
