With Kuwait’s aviation
sector playing a vital role
in the development of
the country’s economy,
Kuwait International
Airport has been
undergoing a remarkable
transformation. The
adoption of the latest
cloud technology has
resulted in its ability to
analyse airport data and
transform it into business
intelligence that can make
a real difference.
K
uwait International Airport, an entity
managed by the government’s
Directorate General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA), has announced that it has adopted
Microsoft Azure cloud solutions to streamline
the airport’s operations.
The move enables DGCA to drive Digital
Transformation in every facet – engage
passengers, empower employees, optimise
operations and transform airport services.
Located 10 miles south of the city, Kuwait
International Airport is home to a traffic of
13.7 million passengers annually, up by 17%
since 2016.
The growing operations called for DGCA to
modernise the airport into a new state-of-
the-art facility that can handle 25 million
passengers a year and provide a remarkable
customer experience. To address these
needs, DGCA decided to partner with
Microsoft and bring technology at the heart
