Air India Express has officially restored its complete flight network across West Asia, marking a return to normalcy following temporary suspensions caused by recent regional tensions. The airline confirmed on Thursday that services to all previously affected destinations, including key routes in Oman and Kuwait, are now fully back in operation.


The restoration process began on July 2 with the resumption of flights on the Kozhikode to Salalah route. Services between Kozhikode and Kuwait are scheduled to restart on July 3, while the Bengaluru to Kuwait route will resume on July 4. According to the airline, flight frequencies on these routes will be increased in phases to meet demand.

This development reinstates critical connectivity for Indian expatriates, tourists, and business travelers. Air India Express currently operates approximately 780 weekly flights, directly linking 18 Indian cities with the region. With the return of its Salalah and Kuwait services, the airline has successfully normalized operations across all of its West Asia destinations.


Passengers are advised that all Kuwait bound flights will now operate from Terminal 4 at Kuwait International Airport. Travelers can book these restored services through the official airline website, the mobile application, and authorized booking channels. This return to full capacity reflects a broader easing of regional airspace restrictions.


The airline confirmed that these schedules are now live for booking, ensuring reliable and seamless travel links between India and the Gulf. This restoration provides a significant relief to passengers who had faced travel disruptions during the period of limited flight availability due to the regional situation.
