Kuwait’s Public Authority of Civil Aviation has formally protested to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for the second time, addressing ongoing violations of its airspace by Iranian attacks. The authority's letter emphasizes that these actions contravene international civil aviation treaties, posing serious threats to the safety of passengers, airline operations, and airport personnel. The latest incident occurred last Wednesday at Terminal 1 of Kuwait International Airport, resulting in fatalities, serious injuries, and considerable damage, which led to the suspension of air traffic operations. This attack came shortly after the terminal had reopened, following repairs from a previous incident on February 28. Kuwait has called on ICAO to take urgent measures to safeguard civil airspace and aviation facilities, prevent future violations, and ensure accountability for the perpetrators under international law. The authority has also reiterated its rights under international law to protect its sovereignty and ensure the safety of all individuals at Kuwait International Airport.
