What has changed

Kuwait Airways’ first Kuwait–Phuket flight arrived on 27 October 2026, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand. The new route operates twice weekly, alongside the airline’s existing Kuwait–Bangkok service.

What it means for your trip

For a holiday based in Phuket, this offers a non-stop alternative to flying into Bangkok and taking a separate domestic flight.
