Kuwait International Airport Terminal 2

under construction

The new Terminal 2 at Kuwait International Airport is a flagship project designed to transform Kuwait into a competitive regional aviation hub. The terminal covers 700,000 to 750,000 square meters and aims to handle up to 25 million passengers annually. It features a tri-wing concrete-shell roof, extensive glazed openings, sustainable elements targeting LEED Gold certification, and cultural touches such as a waterfall in the baggage claim area. Construction began in 2017 and has reached advanced stages, with a firm deadline for civil works completion set for November 30, 2026, followed by systems integration, testing, and passenger services in the last quarter of 2026. The project is part of a comprehensive $5.8 billion airport expansion initiative including a new runway, air traffic control tower, and other infrastructure.
