Kuwait Airways launches direct flights to four destinations

It’s part of the carrier’s five-year transformation strategy

Kuwait Airways has launched direct flights to Bangkok, Rome, Paris and Manila as part of its new schedule of timings, frequency increases and rise in number of destinations.


The new schedule, which has been applied to the airline’s complete network of 36 destinations, is in line with its five-year transformation strategy to renovate its operations and commercial and service offerings to passengers and travel partners, according to Kuwait Times.

The strategy include the addition of a new fleet comprising 10 Boeing 777-300ERs. The first will arrive in Kuwait in December 2016 and the others will follow shortly after.

“Bangkok, Paris, Manila and Rome represent some of our most popular destinations and it was clear that a direct, non-stop route was the way forward, in order to offer our loyal passengers a more convenient option for reaching home, taking a business trip or going on holiday,” said Rash Al-Roumi, Chairperson and CEO of Kuwait Airways.

“In conjunction with the new schedule’s better timings and increased frequencies, Kuwait Airways is confident that we are growing our share of the local and regional market – with passenger numbers up 40 per cent, over the last two years.”
