KUWAIT, March 23 — Kuwait's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (KDGCA) submitted an official protest letter to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) over what it described as serious violations and Iranian attacks targeting the country's airspace and facilities at the Kuwait International Airport.
The Emirates News Agency reported that the Kuwaiti authorities said these attacks constitute a blatant violation of international conventions governing civil aviation, exposing passengers, airlines, and airport personnel to significant risks.
The incidents disrupted air traffic, forcing the suspension of all flights and resulting in substantial financial losses for the civil aviation sector, as well as human injuries and threats to passenger safety and infrastructure.
The KDGCA added that the protest letter detailed the nature of the violations and their repercussions on aviation safety and security.
It also called on ICAO to take the necessary measures to ensure the protection of airspace and civilian facilities, and to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, in line with international standards.
The KDGCA affirmed that Kuwait reserves the right to take all necessary actions to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and aviation infrastructure.
