Kuwait and Bahrain Reopen Airspace After Temporary Closure Following Regional Tensions
Kuwait and Bahrain have officially reopened their airspace after briefly shutting it down on Monday in response to rising regional tensions. The move followed an Iranian missile strike targeting a U.S. military base in Qatar — a strike that prompted immediate safety measures across several Gulf states.
Flight Disruptions Across the Region
The sudden airspace closure caused significant disruption. Hundreds of flights were canceled across the Middle East, with a global total of approximately 243 flights grounded due to the uncertainty.
Airports in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar saw delays and diversions as airlines scrambled to reroute or cancel services.
What Travelers Need to Know

Several airlines, including Kuwait Airways, have announced that passengers on canceled flights are eligible for a full refund or free re-booking on the next available flight, without any additional penalties.
Other regional carriers, such as Gulf Air, have issued similar policies, aiming to accommodate affected travelers and minimize inconvenience.
Back to Normal — For Now
As of Tuesday morning, normal operations have resumed in Kuwaiti and Bahraini airspace, though some routes may still face minor delays as schedules recover.
Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely, but for now, air travel is once again operating as usual across most Gulf countries.
Travelers are advised to check with their airlines directly for the latest updates regarding their specific flights.
