Handover at Kuwait City, Kuwait — the deportees were moved onto a Kuwaiti charter for the flight to Tehran, at a time the reporting does not give. That aircraft is not this one, and that leg is not in this table: it comes from the reporting, not from ADS-B.

Empty afterwards: it left Kuwait International Airport at 05:39 UTC on January 27, 2026 via Sofia Airport, and was back on US soil at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease on January 27, 2026.
