Kuwait’s General Directorate of Civil Aviation has denied reports that an airline operating at Kuwait International Airport is preparing to launch transit flights starting October 1, confirming that the information contained in the circulated announcement is not accurate.

The official clarification was issued after an announcement attributed to one of the airlines operating at Kuwait International Airport circulated information suggesting that transit services would begin on the specified date.

Abdullah Al-Rajhi, the official spokesperson for Kuwait’s Civil Aviation, said that the airlines operating at Kuwait International Airport had not been informed or officially notified of any decision to begin operating transit flights from October 1.

The clarification effectively addresses the reports surrounding the planned service and confirms that no such operational arrangement had been communicated to the airlines through the official regulatory channels.

The Civil Aviation authority urged all airlines operating at Kuwait International Airport to exercise caution and verify information and regulatory decisions before issuing or publishing any announcements concerning flight operations or aviation services.

The authority also emphasized the importance of consulting the relevant departments before announcing any new operational procedures or arrangements, particularly when such announcements involve services that directly affect passengers.

According to the official statement, inaccurate announcements can create confusion among travelers and cause uncertainty for members of the public who may rely on such information when making travel arrangements or purchasing tickets.

The authority indicated that the company responsible for the inaccurate announcement could face the necessary measures under the applicable laws and regulations.

Kuwait’s Civil Aviation authority also stressed its commitment to providing passengers and the aviation sector with accurate and officially approved information regarding developments at Kuwait International Airport.

Any future decisions or updates concerning the operation of transit flights, the authority said, will be announced through its official and approved communication channels.

The clarification is particularly relevant for passengers who may have been considering transit arrangements through Kuwait based on the information circulated by the airline. Travelers are therefore advised to verify any new aviation service directly through official announcements and confirmed airline information.

The latest statement does not announce a new transit service or a specific date for its launch. Instead, it confirms that the reported October 1 start date was not based on an official notification issued by Kuwait’s Civil Aviation authority.

The authority’s warning also places responsibility on airlines operating at the airport to ensure that information concerning new services, operational changes and regulatory decisions is verified before being communicated to the public.

For passengers, the official clarification means that the reported start of transit flights on October 1 should not be treated as an approved operational date. Any confirmed developments regarding transit services at Kuwait International Airport are expected to be communicated through the authority’s official channels.
