Kuwait Airways Reviews
Kuwait Airways (Arabic: الخطوط الجوية الكويتية, Al-Khutout Al-Jawwiya Al-Kuwaitiyah) is the national airline of Kuwait, with its head office on the grounds of Kuwait International Airport, Al Farwaniyah Governorate. It operates scheduled international services throughout the Middle East, to the Indian subcontinent, Europe, Southeast Asia and North America, from its main base at Kuwait International Airport. Kuwait Airways is a member of the Arab Air Carriers Organization.
The Kuwait Airways headquarters is located on the grounds of Kuwait International Airport in Al Farwaniyah Governorate, Kuwait. The 42,000 square metres (450,000 sq ft) head office was built for 15.8 million Kuwaiti dinars (US $ 53.6 million). Ahmadiah Contracting & Trading Co. served as the main contractor. The headquarters, built in 48 months, was constructed from 1992 to 1996. The construction of the head office was the first time that structural glazing for curtain walls was used in the State of Kuwait. The previous headquarters was on the grounds of the airport. Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) has formed the foundation committee or the privatization of Kuwait Airways Corporation (KAC), the foundation committee started the work immediately after signing the decision, noting that transferring the assets of KAC and its subsidiaries to KIA will take more than four months, thereby KAC will officially become a shareholding company. The most serious challenge facing the committee is transferring the KAC employees, many Kuwaitis do not want to work for KAC once it becomes a shareholding company. The employees will need to be moved to the public sector without affecting their financial privileges according to the law. KIA will restructure KAC and develop it financially and administratively in order sell it at a “good price.” ‘Kuwait Airways Company’ was declared a shareholding company on the 23rd of October, 2012. Kuwait Airways is completely owned by the government of Kuwait, as of December 2013.
From its hub at Kuwait International Airport, Kuwait Airways flies to 34 international destinations across Asia, Europe, North America and the Middle East, as of November 2013.
