KUWAIT CITY, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait resumed limited flight operations for several Gulf, Arab and international airlines through Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, marking a further step in its efforts to restore normal air traffic following conflict-related disruptions.
In a brief statement on Monday, Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation said the flights would operate through Terminal 4 of the airport.
The resumption comes as Kuwait gradually recovers from a series of attacks that targeted the airport during the regional conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Authorities in Kuwait have since worked to restore its operation.
The United States, Pakistan and Iran early Monday announced the finalization of a peace memorandum of understanding on ending the war following weeks of negotiations, adding that it will be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday. ■
