Kuwait Airways

On the wave of the oil boom of the 1940"s, a national carrier was born in 1954. In the 1960"s, the national carrier rapidly expanded its route map, and scheduled services to London begun three times a week. Ten years later, Kuwait Airways had an all -Boeing 707 fleet of eight aircraft.

In 1978, Kuwait Airways entered the wide-body age by taking delivery of its first B747-200s. This expansion permitted Kuwait Airways to extend its network to New York to the west and Manila to the east.
Five years later eight Airbus A310s and A300-600s were delivered.

Following the destruction of its premises and 15 of its aircraft during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the airline was relaunched. Kuwait Airways aims to re-establish its network to reach more than 46 countries around the globe with a firm commitment to providing the finest service and comfort to passengers.
