Kuwait Airways has announced the resumption of scheduled flights to and from Cairo via King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Four weekly flights will operate on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from Thursday, 26 March 2026.
Acting chief executive Abdulwahab Al-Shatti said the airline will begin receiving passengers at Al Khiran Mall on Wednesday, 24 hours before departure. The deadline for passenger reception and bus departure towards the Nuwaiseeb border crossing will be eight hours before take-off, according to a post on Kuwait Airways’ Facebook page.
Al-Shatti said the airline has prepared a reception area at Al Khiran Mall to ensure passengers’ safety and comfort and arrange the issue of their ground transport tickets. Travellers should follow the instructions for the bus service, beginning with baggage weighing and check-in procedures.
Travel formalities will be completed at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam before departure for Cairo. Passengers will be transported from Kuwait to Dammam Airport on airline buses.
He stressed that residents must obtain a Saudi Arabian transit visa. The airline also offers Royal and Business Class passengers a limousine service from home to Al Khiran Mall only, on request.
Passengers wishing to travel in their own vehicles must first visit Al Khiran Mall to obtain their boarding passes, then proceed to Dammam Airport to check in and hand over their baggage.
Al-Shatti said Kuwait Airways continues to use its operational capabilities efficiently to keep travel running smoothly, through flexible, proactive plans that respond to developments and improve performance. Passenger and crew safety and security remain the airline’s top priorities.
