Kuwait Airways has unveiled a series of special flights aimed at assisting passengers stranded abroad to return to Kuwait. These flights, originating from key cities across Europe and the Middle East, are part of the airline’s efforts to ease travel disruptions and provide a streamlined route home for its customers. The national carrier has outlined detailed schedules and important travel requirements to ensure a smooth transit process.
One of the highlighted flights is scheduled to depart from Paris, France, heading to Dammam Airport in Saudi Arabia. This particular service, designated as flight KU168D, will take off at 11:00 am local time on Friday and is expected to reach Dammam by 7:20 pm the same day. This flight is especially significant as it represents the last scheduled opportunity for passengers currently in Europe to make their way back to Kuwait via this route. Travelers residing in various European countries have been urged to travel to Paris to secure their seats on this crucial flight.
It is important to note that passengers who are expatriates must obtain a transit visa from Saudi Arabia in order to pass through the country en route to Kuwait. This requirement has been emphasized repeatedly by the airline to avoid any complications during the journey. For those interested in booking, Kuwait Airways has made reservations accessible through multiple channels, including their customer service call center reachable at (171) and a dedicated WhatsApp number, +965 1802050, providing convenience and support for travelers.
In addition to the Paris-Dammam flight, Kuwait Airways has arranged another special service from Amman, Jordan. Flight KU562D is set to depart from Amman at midnight on Thursday and will arrive in Dammam at 2:20 pm local time the same day. This flight is intended for passengers who are currently in or near Jordan and wish to return to Kuwait. Similar to the Paris route, travelers must secure a Saudi transit visa before boarding to ensure compliance with transit regulations.
Furthermore, the airline has recently operated a special flight from Istanbul, Turkey, departing from Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. Flight KU158D took off at 11:00 am local time on Tuesday and was scheduled to land in Dammam at 3:00 pm. Passengers in Turkey who are looking to return to Kuwait were encouraged to travel to Sabiha Gokcen Airport and book their seats promptly. The transit visa requirement for Saudi Arabia applies here as well, underscoring the importance of proper documentation for all travelers.
These special flights by Kuwait Airways come at a time when international travel remains complex due to ongoing restrictions and visa protocols. The airline’s proactive approach in organizing these services reflects its commitment to supporting its passengers during challenging times. By providing clear instructions and multiple booking options, Kuwait Airways aims to facilitate a hassle-free return journey for expatriates and other travelers eager to reunite with their families in Kuwait.
