Kuwait has restored normal air traffic operations following the temporary precautionary closure of its airspace earlier, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) announced, News.Az reports, citing Gulf News.

The authority stated that normal operations resumed after the situation that prompted the precautionary measures eased.

The DGCA said it continues to monitor the situation around the clock in coordination with relevant authorities inside and outside Kuwait to ensure the highest levels of safety and security in the country’s airspace.
