Will Phase In 15 Of The Aircraft Over The Next Several Years

Kuwait Airways, the national carrier of Kuwait, has taken delivery of its first A320neo aircraft.

The delivery was a milestone in Kuwait Airways’ 65th anniversary celebration, marking an important step in the airline’s ambitious fleet renewal and growth plans, which will phase in 15 A320neo aircraft to its fleet in the coming years under a purchase agreement signed in 2014.

The A320neo will be a pillar of Kuwait Airways’ single aisle fleet, bringing continuity to the success delivered by its current 7 A320ceos, and ensuring a smooth transition for pilots, crews, and technical teams.                       

The A320neo will boost the airline’s profitability with the world’s most advanced and fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft. Kuwait Airways’ new A320neo is powered by CFM International LEAP-1A engines and is configured in a spacious two-class layout, including 12 business class and 122 economy class seats. The aircraft offers the widest single-aisle cabin in the market with unmatched comfort in all classes. It also provides the latest inflight entertainment technology.
