Kuwait travel advice: regional tensions and airport operations

The UK FCDO updated its travel advice for Kuwait, no longer advising against all but essential travel, but noting the Middle East situation remains unpredictable. Since 8 July, Iran has conducted strikes in several locations, including Kuwait, against US military and civilian infrastructure. Kuwait International Airport is currently operating through Terminals 4 and 5, with Terminal 1 closed and reduced flight schedules. British nationals are advised to prepare for flight cancellations and airspace closures, and follow local guidance.
