Overview

KWI is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Kuwait International Airport in Kuwait City, Kuwait (KW). The matching ICAO identifier is OKBK. Travel agents see KWI on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example KWILHR when the other airport is London Heathrow).

This code page explains how KWI is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here.
