Kuwait International Airport has resumed normal operations following severe disruptions caused by dense fog early this morning. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) confirmed that flight activities were temporarily halted due to hazardous weather conditions. According to Abdullah Al Rajhi, the official spokesperson for the DGCA, horizontal visibility plummeted to less than 100 meters at approximately 2 am, rendering it unsafe for aircraft to land or take off. This led to the diversion of several flights to neighboring countries. As the fog dissipated and visibility improved, the airport gradually restored its operations. Al Rajhi emphasized the DGCA’s commitment to passenger and staff safety during adverse weather conditions and commended the collaborative efforts of all parties involved in managing the situation. The incident highlights the challenges posed by extreme weather in the region and the importance of robust contingency planning in aviation.
