Yesterday I got an email from Qatar Airways letting me know that they’ve resumed daily flights from Kuwait until the end of the month:
Mr Makhoul, in these challenging times, we are here to support you if you need to travel home. We recently resumed flights from Kuwait so that you can now fly daily to select destinations, until 30 May 2020.
As we understand your travel plans might change, we are offering you more flexibility. You can change your date of travel free of charge, or exchange for a future travel voucher*.
Your safety, security and well-being are our first priority. As always, we provide the highest standards of hygiene on our aircraft, so your journey back home is seamless and safe
All flights are one way only and there is no mention that I need to fly specifically to my home country. So I guess I could fly out to any country that is currently allowing non-citizens/residents to come in. They had some offers mentioned in the email but when I checked their website none of the prices there matched the offers in the email. For example, a one-way economy ticket to London was listed as KD85 in the email but the lowest ticket price I found online was KD168.
I don’t think there are any other airlines flying out daily so I guess whatever they ask for you’re gonna have to pay if you want to leave Kuwait. Also if you’re Kuwaiti, it doesn’t seem like you’re allowed to fly out.

Emirates just landed a few minutes ago. I see emirates flights every morning, but it does not show destination on flight radar, but tracking it manually I can see they fly Kuwait > Dubai. Maybe it’s for another use or something, it’s also not Cargo its a Pax plane with Seats
Airlines are using passenger planes to fly cargo as well because of the situation.
Brother, None of the airlines are operating for pax in Kuwait other than the kuwait airways & Jazeera & that for repatriation. You see daily Emirates, Qatar, Air India Exp. & so on but operating as freighters.
Nope you’re wrong. Qatar Airways flies out daily from Kuwait, passenger flights.
When can we fly to South Africa?
Check the Qatar Website.
My wife was brought here by a company who never got her the promised visa. Kuwait now, understandably, wants her out as she’s not legal. So for the first time in our marriage we will be separated. She has to take the kids and leave – and then on top of this they’re charging rip off prices for the tickets!
I came to london from kuwait on February. Visit visa.
I want to go back to kuwait.
“I want to go back to kuwait”
If you are a citizen you should not have any issues.. u are probably on the list already just catch a cab to the embassy and they will do the rest.
If you are a resident well then you have 3 options;
1, If you have the finances to stay in the UK and a long term visa wait until the lock down ends
2, get your self a ticket to your home country.
3, Stay as an illegal immigrant 😉
Hi,
I live and work in Kuwait. I’m an American citizen and I flew to the USA to attend a funeral in early March. I wasn’t able to return to Kuwait and my husband and kids are in Kuwait. What options do I have to be able to return to Kuwait?
Do I need to keep waiting for inbound flights for expats to be allowed? Any other options to be reunited with my kids?
Thanks!
Hi Anna,
I’m an American citizen too and my wife is back home with our kids but unfortunately there is no way they can come back here to Kuwait anytime soon. We have to wait until the airport is back to normal.
Stay strong.
Thank you! We hope the airport will reopen soon. 🙏
Any remote idea when Non-Citizens/Residents can return to Kuwait?
