Kuwait Bus Route X2 is CityBus’s airport express service linking Salmiya to Kuwait International Airport via Hawally, running 24 hours a day with the same traveler-focused amenities as the rest of the X-series.

About Kuwait Bus Route X2

Kuwait Bus Route X2 passes through some of Salmiya and Hawally’s busiest commercial stretches — Promenade Mall, Maidan Hawally, and several hospitals including Apollo and Royal Hayat. For residents of Salmiya and the surrounding coastal suburbs, this is the direct airport option without needing to first head into the city center.

Kuwait Bus Route X2 Stops and Timing

Kuwait Bus Route X2 follows the same operating pattern as the rest of the X-series: every 15 minutes during the day, every 30 minutes overnight. The Hawally stretch of this route has heavy general traffic during rush hour, so building in extra time is worth it if you have a flight to catch.

Kuwait Bus Route X2 Fare and Tips

Kuwait Bus Route X2 costs 500 fils before 10:00 PM and 1 KD after 10:00 PM, the same as the rest of the Airport Express fleet. Boarding directly at the Salmiya start point rather than a mid-route stop generally guarantees a seat, useful if you’re carrying luggage.
