Kuwait Airways is launching five exciting new direct international routes in 2026. This move expands its network of more than 60 global destinations. A key highlight is the twice-weekly flight to Mykonos, Greece, starting June 14, 2026. Mykonos is famous for its beaches, nightlife, and luxury resorts. Other new destinations are Moscow, Beijing, Maldives, and Phuket. Flights to Moscow will run three times weekly, strengthening business and cultural ties. Direct flights to Beijing will enhance connectivity with China’s major political and economic center. The airline will also connect Kuwait directly to the Maldives and Phuket, tapping into booming island tourism for holiday travelers. Exact start dates for Beijing, Maldives, and Phuket routes will be revealed later in 2026. This expansion reflects Kuwait Airways’ dual focus on leisure and business travel. Mykonos, Maldives, and Phuket are top sun-and-sand vacation spots for Middle Eastern travelers, while Moscow and Beijing are important economic hubs. This growing network comes as global air travel recovers from pandemic challenges. Passengers now prefer nonstop flights instead of flights with layovers. Other Gulf carriers like Etihad and Emirates have also recently added new routes to Europe and Asia. Kuwait Airways aims to raise Kuwait’s profile as a key aviation hub connecting the Gulf with Europe and Asia. Travel experts suggest booking early for popular leisure routes due to expected high demand. Business travelers will benefit from easier access to major capitals like Moscow and Beijing. With this strategic boost, Kuwait Airways is set to become a strong link between continents, serving both vacationers and corporate clients with efficient, direct flights.
