Kuwait Airways, the national carrier of Kuwait, goes back to 1953 when it was founded by a group of Kuwaiti businessmen. The airline's initial network limitations caused some financial difficulties, which prompted the government to acquire 50% of the shares. The government eventually acquired full ownership of the business when the company's shares doubled, making it the longest-running official state carrier operating out of the Arabian Gulf region. However, in 2008 the company was privatized. With the rapidly evolving demands of aviation, Kuwait Airways has maintained its pace efficiently.
As of 2022, the carrier fleet includes 30 aircraft, offering multiple services to a number of international locations. The list includes 7 Airbus A320-200, 6 Airbus A320neo, 5 Airbus A330-200, 2 Airbus A330-800 and 10 Boeing 777-300ER. In addition to these, 2 A330-800neo and 3 A320neo will be received shortly. The diverse range of aircraft available to clients provide the utmost level of relaxation and safety. When passengers board a Kuwait Airways flight, they immediately notice their courtesy and decency. This airline has always been renowned for its quick acquisition of new aircraft and global route expansion. Even in 1968, they bought three Boeing 707s, and ten years later, they had an entire fleet of eight Boeing 707s. Kuwait Airways provides flights that travel through 48 destinations with renowned tourist spots in Amsterdam, Baku, Bangkok, Islamabad and many more. The primary hub for the flights is Kuwait International Airport in Kuwait City, which is serviced by a variety of routes that connect there from places all across from North America to the Indian subcontinent.
