According to reports from the Kuwait Times and Reuters on June 3, the Kuwait Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) confirmed that the attack resulted in significant damage to multiple airport facilities and casualties.
In response to the attack, the DGCA activated its emergency response plan. Abdullah Al-Azzi, a spokesperson for the DGCA, stated that authorities are ensuring the safety of passengers, airport staff, and infrastructure in accordance with approved emergency procedures and response plans.
Al-Azzi announced that all flight operations would be suspended until necessary security and technical measures are completed and the airport is ready to resume operations. Consequently, flights to and from Kuwait International Airport will be redirected to alternative airports until further notice.
He added that a specialized technical team has begun a comprehensive inspection and assessment to determine the extent of damage and stability of airport facilities and operational systems before repair and recovery efforts commence.
