I read on Al Anba paper that the long awaited privatization of Kuwait Airways will take place in less than a month through a decree from Council of Ministers, they say it will become a private company that operates under the supervision of Kuwait Investment Authority and a new board of directors will be formed.
Meanwhile their emergency plane is to hire private jets, this is probably the umpteen time I hear such news but let’s hope things go smoothly this time.
Update: I received news on January 23rd, 2013 that Kuwait National Assembly has approved to convert Kuwait Airways into private sharing company.


We’ve been about the privatization for years now. I hope they get serious about it
Totally agree +1 this should have been done decades ago.
Like you said we heard this news zillion times yet no action
Stuff only happens when it’s too late. Being reactionary never works.
Sadly this is how many things are going in Kuwait, hope things change.
