DGCA 2.4.4

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) operates under its Strategic Action Plan, which serves as a comprehensive framework integrating safety oversight, security standards, and recommended practices outlined by the International Civil Aviation Convention. Its core activities include:

• Supervision of the construction and maintenance of airport facilities;
• Organization of air traffic management within Kuwaiti airspace;
• Oversight of civil aviation safety, encompassing the registration, certification, operation, and maintenance of aircraft;
• Management of all air transport affairs for the State of Kuwait, including the negotiation of international conventions and agreements, as well as the implementation of Kuwait’s “Open Skies” policy; and the administration of Kuwait International Airport.

Furthermore, in its capacity as the airport authority, the DGCA supervises all governmental agencies and private entities operating at Kuwait International Airport, ensuring adherence to the highest global standards.

The effectiveness of the DGCA is evident in its consistent achievement of year-on-year growth in both passenger traffic and service quality, reflecting the organization’s commitment to realizing its vision of a sophisticated and modern airport infrastructure.
