#Kuwait: 2,800 flights to carry 352,000 passengers in #Eid holiday

Departing passengers to make up 60% of total air travel

Around 2,800 flights are expected to carry some 352,000 passengers to and from #Kuwait during the upcoming Eid Al Fitr holiday, a local newspaper said.
Departing travellers will make up about 60 per cent of the total passenger traffic during the 10-day Eid holiday, added Al Qabas citing statistics.

Major destinations during the holiday feature #Dubai, #Istanbul, #Jeddah, #Cairo and #Doha, it said.

โ€œThe Eid holiday coincides with the start of the summer travel season in early May, a matter that increases responsibilities of agencies operating at the [Kuwait] airport to make things smooth for passengers and facilitate their departure and return to the country,โ€ unidentified sources said.

The sources saw increasing demand from travellers to spend the the Eid and summer abroad after the COVID-19 pandemic has receded and related restrictions eased.

In February, the #Kuwaiti government lifted most anti-coronavirus restrictions and relaxed travel curbs after a marked drop in infection rates in the country.

The latest rules allow unvaccinated travellers to enter the country, provided they present a negative PCR test result conducted 72 hours before the flight, go into seven-day domestic quarantine after arrival and do another negative PCR test on the seventh day to end the #quarantine..

Fully vaccinated travellers are exempted from pre-arrival and on-arrival PCR tests as well as home quarantine.
