Kuwait International Airport (ICAO: OKKK / IATA: KWI)
Location (City, Country)

Airport Type & Size
Kuwait International is a major airport in the Gulf region with two runways and rapidly growing traffic. It is a key hub for Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways. The airport handles over 50 million passengers annually and features multiple terminals, including the newly developed Terminal 4 and upcoming Terminal 2.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Adding KWI would enrich the Middle East region with a mid-size to large hub that connects East and West. It’s not too close to Muscat (MCT), so it offers strategic diversity in gameplay. It would also pair well with future wide-body aircraft additions like the A330neo.
