KUWAIT CITY, Aug 18: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has instructed some companies operating at Kuwait International Airport to conduct comprehensive medical tests for all individuals holding licenses issued by the directorate. Sources informed the newspaper that these tests will include testing for the consumption of narcotics, psychotropic substances, and alcohol. Sources said these tests will be conducted by an accredited medical authority within this month.
Sources said the DGCA stressed the need to provide proof of compliance with these requirements, such as copies of test results or approved medical certificates in accordance with the established procedures on or before Sept 4. Meanwhile, one company has required its employees holding technical licenses issued by the DGCA to undergo the tests starting Monday, warning that if any of the concerned employees refuse to undergo the required tests, the refusal will be considered a positive result.
