KUWAIT CITY, July 22: In line with its plan to develop Kuwait International Airport and modernize its investment and service infrastructure, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has started preparing for the implementation of an integrated project to develop and reshape the investment zone and duty-free shopping area in Terminal Four (T4) as per the latest international standards for airport operations and passenger service. Reliable sources informed the newspaper that this radical change complies with the directive of DGCA President Eng. Sheikh Hamoud Al-Sabah, who prioritizes the development of airport facilities to be on par with international airports in terms of form, content, and services provided, under the requirements of international civil aviation organizations.

Sources said the DGCA stressed the need for T4 to become an ideal environment that meets the aspirations of travelers, especially during peak travel seasons. Sources pointed out this will make the airport not just a transit station, but an integrated destination offering world-class commercial and investment services. Sources revealed the directorate has launched dozens of investment tenders aimed at attracting major international and local companies to contribute to enriching the investment environment at the airport. Sources believe this will support the State budget through the revenues generated by these partnerships.
