KUWAIT — Navigation to and from Kuwait International Airport was temporarily halted on Monday due to a dust storm that ebbed visibility throughout Kuwait.

Flights have been affected by the current weather conditions, said Imad Al-Jalawi, Deputy Director-General for Air Navigation Services at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).

Flights' scheduled will be reviewed and regular aviation will resume once visibility has been improved, Al-Jalawi added. He noted that Kuwait is currently affected by low visibility along with strong winds reaching more than 50 km/h. — KUNA
