KUWAIT CITY, June 8: A reliable source at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has confirmed that flight operations at Kuwait International Airport continue without disruption, despite a recent bomb threat that was later deemed false. The source clarified that the threat was not considered credible and that the individual responsible for reporting it is currently under investigation.

The DGCA earlier reported that the threat was received on Sunday, June 8, involving Gulf Air flight GF213 en route to Kuwait as part of its regular schedule. Authorities responded immediately per established security protocols.

In a statement, the DGCA noted that the aircraft landed safely, and all standard procedures for dealing with such incidents were executed in full coordination with the Ministry of Interior and other relevant agencies. Passengers were safely evacuated from the plane without incident. DGCA spokesperson Abdullah Al-Rajhi confirmed that all passengers were moved to an isolated lounge as a precautionary measure and are in good health. He assured the public that no negative impact resulted from the incident.

“All passengers are currently undergoing routine security checks in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and airport authorities,” Al-Rajhi said. “These steps are in place to ensure the safety of passengers, crew members, and airport personnel, as well as to verify that the aircraft poses no further risk.” Scheduled flights at the airport remain unaffected, and operations are proceeding as normal.

The DGCA, in partnership with security agencies, continues to monitor the situation closely and is following all applicable regulations and safety procedures. Authorities have detained a Gulf national responsible for the false report and have initiated appropriate legal actions. In his concluding remarks, Al-Rajhi praised the swift coordination among involved entities and reaffirmed the DGCA’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety and security in Kuwait
