Wataniya Airways announces start of first commercial flights

"Today marks the beginning of a new era for Kuwait and the region's aviation industry with the start of our scheduled flights providing high levels of comfort and convenience at competitive rates to our guests" said Wataniya Airways CEO, George Cooper. "The flights to Dubai will be followed soon by additional popular destinations in the region, including Bahrain and Beirut in March, as our fleet of A320 aircraft expands."

First Class passengers who were dropped off by complimentary limousine service were able to move swiftly through the well designed Sheikh Saad Terminal and relax in the luxurious First Class lounge before being escorted to the aircraft.

Premium Economy guests could benefit from the valet parking facility outside Sheikh Saad Terminal before checking in at a conveniently located counter without having to wait in a busy commercial airport terminal.

"This is pure poetry in motion - the benefits of a scheduled airline service with all the frills and without the frustrations that are linked with large busy airports - this is the way to fly," said Ali, who wanted to be amongst the first guests to experience Wataniya Airways in action.
