Gulf Air announced the resumption of transit and connecting flight services for passengers via the Gulf Air passenger terminal (T5) at Kuwait International Airport, effective October 1, 2026, offering travelers convenient connection options to continue their journeys across the airline’s network, which currently covers more than 45 destinations.
In a statement, Gulf Air said the announcement was made during a meeting with business partners and customers, with booking for transit flights opening for passengers as of today.
The resumption of services marks an important step in strengthening connectivity among Gulf Air’s destinations, allowing passengers on eligible connecting flights to transit through Kuwait and continue their journey smoothly to their next destination on Gulf Air flights.
Headquartered in Kuwait, which serves as the hub of its operations network, Gulf Air connects passengers via Terminal 5 to a wide range of markets and destinations across various regions. The resumption of connecting flight services provides travelers with broader and more flexible travel options, complementing the airline’s direct flights and supporting its growth and expansion plans in the coming period.
Passengers can take advantage of connection options through several key travel routes, including flights between the Indian subcontinent and Saudi Arabia, and Arab Mashreq countries, as well as between Africa and Gulf states, in addition to numerous destinations within Gulf Air’s network. As the airline continues to expand and add new high-demand destinations such as Addis Ababa in Ethiopia and Aswan in Egypt, these services will offer travelers even more options for seamless travel and connections through Kuwait.
Parathan Pasupathy, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Air, said: “Since resuming full operations at Gulf Air Terminal (T5) in May 2026, we have continued to operate within restricted hours and without transit or connecting flight services for passengers. The return of services through Kuwait on October 1 represents a significant milestone for Gulf Air and our customers alike, enabling us to better leverage the strength of our destination network, provide more travel options, and facilitate passenger movement across the markets we serve.”
He added: “Kuwait is our home and holds a strategic position at the heart of our destination network. As Gulf Air enters the next phase of its growth, connecting flights will play an increasingly important role in expanding our network and supporting our entry into new markets, further enhancing Kuwait’s position as a regional travel gateway.”
Connecting flight services also offer greater flexibility for passengers, allowing Gulf Air to link destinations that may not have direct flights between them, providing convenient options and competitive prices via Kuwait.
Customers wishing to book eligible connecting flights can make a single reservation covering their entire journey on Gulf Air through the airline’s website or mobile app, and continue their travel via Kuwait International Airport.
Gulf Air encourages passengers to ensure that their contact details, including mobile phone numbers and email addresses, are up to date in their reservations to receive the latest information and updates regarding their flights.
