Starting January 1st, Kuwait Airways will start flying to New York again non-stop. Kuwait Airways used to fly non-stop a few years ago but due to our airport’s weak security, flights to NY started stopping in Ireland for one more final security check. A non-stop flight to New York obviously makes the journey a lot quicker and practical, but with the new Kuwait Airways planes and terminal, it could also potentially be the best way to get to NY from Kuwait.

Does that mean there will be a TSA Checkpoint in Kuwait? How are they able to fly non-stop to New York now?
Is it just a direct international flight or Abu Dhabi-like arrangement where immigration and customs happen at point of origin and flight arrives as a “domestic” flight in NY ?
Just a non stop flight for now. They are planning to set up a US Border control here in the future though.
i really want to take Kuwait airways as i live in New York and my parents live in Kuwait but i don’t know why they are so expensive, So i end up getting Qatar airways or Turkish.
So tried looking into this to book flights to New York for the summer. Still no direct flights available and there’s a pop up notice on the website stating that all Kuwait Airways flights departing Kuwait are from Terminal 4 EXCEPT those to New York. Any idea what this is all about?
