Kuwait Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA) announced on Monday suspending indefinitely direct commercial flights from Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, except for cargo flights.

The DGCA said in a statement that residents of these countries must spend 14 days in a third country before heading for Kuwait.


The decision has come in line with instructions by the Kuwaiti health authorities, considering the contagion status in such high-hazard countries.

The anti-covid measure was declared by the Cabinet earlier today.
