Kuwait
Airways, is Kuwait's national and international airline and is
wholly owned by the Kuwaiti Government.On the wave of the oil boom
of the 1940s, a national carrier was born in 1954. Initially,
Kuwait Airways Company served a limited network of Abadan, Beirut,
Damascus and Jerusalem but a year later the fledgling carrier was
facing economic hardship, and the government of Kuwait took a 50%
interest in the airline, subsequently doubling the company's
capital. Having entered the rough and tumble world of aviation, the
government finally took out 100% share in Kuwait Airways. Following
the destruction of its premises and 15 of its aircraft during the
Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the airline was relaunched. Kuwait
Airways fleet now comprises three A320-200s, three A310-300s, five
A300-605Rs, four A340-300s and two Boeing B777s, bringing the fleet
to 17 aircraft, equipped with the latest entertainment systems.
