  • 03/02/2021

Kuwait City : The limit in  the number  of  passengers (1000 ) per day  travelling to Kuwait International Airport, which would have ended next Saturday has been extended until the end of February by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) though there was a huge spike in air ticket prices, while some airlines cancelled their scheduled flights due to the economic inefficiency of commercial operation,after this came into effect .The likely reason for the continuation of the limit is health authorities in the country raising the alert level over increasing cases of travellers arriving in the country with negative PCR certificates, but test results at the airport show they are infected with the Coronavirus. 


Only arriving passengers are impacted and not departures, while domestic workers were excluded from the limit. The arriving domestic workers will be subject to institutional quarantine as there are housing designated for domestic workers to quarantine for 14 days.
