Kuwait Submits Second Formal Protest to ICAO Over Airspace Violations and Airport Attacks

The General Authority of Civil Aviation announced on Sunday that it has submitted a second formal protest letter to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regarding serious Iranian violations and attacks that infringed upon the sovereignty of the State of Kuwait through breaches of its airspace and the facilities of Kuwait International Airport, posing significant risks to civil aviation safety and security.

The Authority said the protest emphasized that these acts constitute a clear and serious violation of international civil aviation conventions and treaties, and pose a direct threat to the safety of passengers, airline operators, and airport personnel, as well as to the infrastructure and vital facilities of Kuwait International Airport.

It noted that the latest incident targeting Terminal 1 (T1) last Wednesday resulted in fatalities, serious injuries, and extensive material damage. It also led to the disruption and suspension of air traffic, with flights to and from Kuwait International Airport halted, significantly affecting air transport operations and passenger movement.

The Authority explained that the severity of the incident is compounded by the fact that it occurred just 48 hours after the reopening of Terminal 1 and the resumption of flights by Arab and foreign airlines, following repair and rehabilitation works after damage caused by a previous attack on February 28. These efforts were part of Kuwait’s ongoing work to restore normal and safe air navigation operations.

In its official letter, the Authority stressed the need for ICAO to take urgent and decisive measures to protect civilian airspace and facilities, prevent the recurrence of such violations, and hold those responsible accountable in accordance with international law and global civil aviation safety and security standards.

It affirmed that the State of Kuwait reserves its full rights under international law to take all appropriate measures necessary to protect its sovereignty, security, airspace, and civil infrastructure, and to ensure the safety of passengers, employees, and airport facilities
