KUWAIT CITY: Flights from Dubai and Turkey to Kuwait are fully booked until Feb 20, reports Al-Anba daily quoting official sources from various airlines, travel and tourism offices.

Sources disclosed some flights were rescheduled and others cancelled as per the decision of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to limit the number of passengers arriving in Kuwait to not more than 1,000 daily.

Sources said this decision resulted in confusion regarding return flights to the country, especially those from Dubai and Turkey — the usual transit countries for travelers from the banned countries which were identified as high risk in terms of the spread of corona.

Sources added the local and regional airlines merged some flights in line with the operating ‘quota’ imposed on each country; indicating only three flights were canceled recently — from Amman in Jordan, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Istanbul in Turkey.
