Kuwait City: According to statistics on the movement of passengers and aircraft expected from Kuwait International Airport during the Eid Al-Fitr holidays, which run from April 28 to May 7, approximately 60% of total passenger traffic will be outbound, estimated to be around 208,000 on 1,400 flights, compared to 144,000 inbound passengers on the same number of flights. 


The statistics show the most favored travel destinations during the holidays are Dubai, Istanbul, Sabiha, Trabzon, Bodrum, Jeddah, Cairo and Doha. In this regard, sources told the daily the Eid holidays coincide with the start of the summer travel season for airlines operating at the airport, which will start at the beginning of next May, which increases and doubles the responsibilities of the agencies operating at the airport to provide comfort for travelers and facilitate the smooth flow of their departure and return to the country 

According to sources, the summer and Eid seasons this year will be crowded and intense at times, as a result of the increased demand for people and residents to spend their vacations outside the nation following the fall of the Corona outbreak and the relaxation of tight travel restrictions. According to the sources, the operational sectors in the DGCA will increase their readiness to deal with traffic movement over the vacations and the summer season in general..
