Uzbekistan and Kuwait will establish direct flights in 2025.

According to "Dunyo," this was stated by Sheikh Hamoud Mubarak Al-Hamoud Al-Jabir Al-Sabah, the head of the Civil Aviation Authority of Kuwait, during a meeting with the Ambassador of Uzbekistan, Ayubkhan Yunusov.

The parties discussed ways to accelerate cooperation between the aviation organizations of both countries, particularly the establishment of direct flights.

Sheikh Hamoud highlighted the productive outcomes of his meeting with the delegation of Uzbekistan's civil aviation during the ICAO session held in Malaysia on October 24 of this year. At that time, the countries agreed to increase the number of flights to 14 per week to promote pilgrimage tourism.

It is worth noting that citizens of Uzbekistan need to obtain a visa to travel to Kuwait. Since 2021, tourists from Kuwait can enter our country without a visa for a period not exceeding 10 days.
