Abolish max limit for arrivals – Airlines may shut shop – ARAB TIMES – KUWAIT NEWS – Arab Times Kuwait English Daily

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 22: Although the Cabinet has given the green signal to operate direct flights to six countries — Egypt, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal — informed sources said the authorities of Kuwait International Airport (Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) – had not received (until Thursday noon) the explanations for the Cabinet’s decision, and therefore it is not possible to set a specific date for opening travel destinations which can only be done after receiving all the clarifications.

The sources stated that the airport authorities are ready to deal with any increase in the number of inbound passengers and open the airspace to all countries, considering that in the event that there is no increase in the number of arrivals, this will disrupt the implementation of the new decision, after plans were put in place and finally to increase the passenger capacity (daily arrivals) to 7,500 passengers.
