KUWAIT CITY — Jazeera Airways diverted its operations Sunday to Al Qaisumah Airport after the temporary closure of Kuwait’s airspace, according to Kuwait News Agency.

The airline said the airport in Hafr al-Batin is located about two and a half hours from Kuwait by road.

“Arriving passengers can continue their journey by road into Kuwait, and departing passengers can travel to the airport by road, provided they possess a valid visa to enter Saudi Arabia,” the airline said.
