Gulf Air increases flights to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain

Kuwait Airways announced yesterday an increase in the number of flights to both Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, while continuing to operate three daily flights to Dubai.

The airline will begin implementing the new schedule starting August 10, raising its weekly flights to Abu Dhabi from four to five, and to Al Ain from two to three, strengthening the air link between Kuwait and the UAE. Kuwait Airways will maintain its current frequency to Dubai at 21 weekly flights, bringing the company’s total weekly flights to the UAE to 29.

This increase comes at a time when the market is experiencing a decline in overall operational capacity, reflecting Kuwait Airways’ confidence in the UAE market and its commitment to providing customers with broader travel options and greater flexibility.

The UAE remains one of Kuwait Airways’ largest and most important regional markets, with its flights serving various segments of travelers, including business travelers, tourists, resident communities, and families traveling between the two countries.

Paul Carroll, Head of Commercial at Kuwait Airways, said: “Dubai was among the first destinations Kuwait Airways launched when it began operations more than 20 years ago, and the UAE remains one of our most important markets. The increase in flights to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, while maintaining three daily flights to Dubai, reflects our commitment to offering wider choices, greater flexibility, and reliable air connectivity for our customers. Despite a decline in overall market capacity, we continue to focus on meeting demand and strengthening ties between Kuwait and the UAE.”

The new schedule provides travelers with suitable options for moving between Kuwait and various UAE cities, further underscoring Kuwait Airways’ commitment to supporting business, tourism, and family visits between the two brother nations.
