Kuwait and India expand flight capacity after 19 years

In a major step towards enhancing bilateral air connectivity, India and Kuwait have signed a new air services agreement that boosts weekly seat capacity by 50 percent, increasing the limit from 12,000 to 18,000 seats in each direction.

The agreement was reached during a high-level meeting recently in New Delhi, where



senior aviation authorities from both nations met to strengthen cooperation in the civil aviation sector.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed by Sheikh Hamoud Mubarak Al Sabah, President of Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), and Samir Kumar Sinha, India’s Civil Aviation Secretary.
