KUWAIT CITY, Mar 3: Kuwait Airways has announced special arrangements to assist Kuwaiti citizens wishing to return home amid the current exceptional circumstances in the region.

In a statement, the national carrier said the move comes as part of its national responsibility and in coordination with relevant state authorities to ensure the safe return of citizens to the State of Kuwait.
