Kuwait International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 29.22° N, 47.97° E, on Asia/Kuwait time (UTC+3).
Kuwait International Airport has 3 runways. The longest, 16/34, measures 15,026 ft by 197 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. Surfaces vary across the field (asphalt, concrete). All 3 are lit for night operations.
Runway 16/34 is aligned roughly south-east/north-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south-east/north-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
The runways are not interchangeable. 15R/33L is 11,155 ft against 16/34's 15,026 ft, a difference of 3,871 ft, so the shorter one generally takes regional traffic while the longer handles anything heavy.
