With the global prominence of Dubai as a tourist destination subsidised and supported by the phenomenal growth of Emirates Airlines, and with the growing luxury option of Qatar Airways bound to increase in the wake of Doha winning the bid to host the 2022 World Cup, the petrodollars in the Middle East have seen a shift in perception on flying through the region, and many travellers now opt to route their trip through Dubai and Doha. So how does Kuwait Airways shape up as a regional competitor?

According to its website, Kuwait Airways operates a fleet of fifteen Airbuses and two Boeing 777, the airline operates direct flights to New York, as well as serving strategic European destinations such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva and Rome, while also providing numerous regional links and flying further east as far as Beijing and Jakarta. Operating since 1954 on the back of the oil boom of the 1940s, and known initially as Kuwait Airways Company, the initial route network of Abadan, Beirut, Damascus and Jerusalem has expanded to more than 46 countries.
