Kuwait Airways has announced the cancellation of two scheduled flights between Kuwait and Riyadh on Saturday, October 10, 2026, in an urgent operational update affecting passengers travelling between the two countries.
The airline confirmed that flight KU775 from Kuwait International Airport to Riyadh has been cancelled, along with flight KU776 operating from Riyadh back to Kuwait, citing the closure of the airport due to the current security situation.
Kuwait Airways said affected passengers will receive updates regarding their bookings through notifications and text messages sent to the phone numbers registered with the airline.
The carrier has urged all passengers to continue monitoring their flight status through official channels, particularly as operational conditions remain subject to further changes.
The announcement directly affects passengers booked on KU775 and KU776, especially those with onward connections, hotel reservations or other time-sensitive travel arrangements linked to their arrival in Kuwait or Riyadh.
The update does not indicate the cancellation of all Kuwait Airways services to Saudi Arabia or a complete suspension of air travel between the two countries. The current statement applies specifically to the two flights operating between Kuwait and Riyadh on October 10.
Passengers are advised not to rely solely on the original departure time shown in their booking and to verify the latest flight status before travelling to the airport, as additional schedule changes may be introduced if current conditions continue.
Travellers should also make sure that the contact information linked to their reservation is accurate so they can receive any notifications concerning rebooking, travel changes or alternative arrangements.
The latest disruption comes as several airlines continue to adjust selected Riyadh services, making it increasingly important for passengers to check their flight status shortly before departure.
