Kuwait Airways Refutes Air Cargo Operations Halt, Confirms Compliance
SHARE

Kuwait Airways has completely refuted speculation about the cessation of its cargo flights, reassuring all international partners as well as the local logistics sector that its cargo operations continue without interruptions. 

In an official statement, the national airline rejected media reports claiming that its logistics services were completely shut down, stating that there was no threat to the safety of its operations. The company’s management confirmed that the cargo operation continues in accordance with the existing aviation regulations and works in close coordination with the regulatory bodies.

The national carrier pointed out that all its transport routes are subject to international rules regarding security and safety. Operating out of its dedicated 24/7 cargo facility adjacent to Terminal 4 at Kuwait International Airport, the airline manages critical global shipments, ranging from general dry freight and perishables to dangerous goods, live animals, and temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals.

Management highlighted that maintaining full compliance with international safety standards remains central to its operational mandate, assuring logistics providers and trade partners of complete supply chain continuity.

The clarification follows industry speculation after the carrier introduced a temporary adjustment, halting agent-delivered cargo shipments through September 25, 2026. Concerns rapidly spread across trade channels, triggering broader rumors of an operational shutdown or procedural safety failures. In response, Kuwait Airways clarified that standard freight handling, export-import clearance, and scheduled cargo flights continue as planned across its global network to meet regional transport demands.

Expressing appreciation to the public and trade stakeholders for their cooperation, Kuwait Airways urged media organizations and the public to refrain from circulating unverified claims. The carrier reaffirmed its commitment to transparent communication, advising all parties to rely exclusively on official corporate announcements for operational updates.
