Kuwait Airways to Resume Flights to Casablanca After 13-Year Hiatus

After 13 years of absence, Kuwait Airways is returning to Casablanca, according to Air Journal. Starting June 1, 2022, it will operate two weekly flights between its base in Kuwait City and Casablanca-Mohammed V airport. These flights will be operated on Boeing A330-800 with 32 Business class and 203 Economy class passengers. The company will have no direct competition on this route (the major Gulf airlines are already present in the Moroccan city, and Royal Air Maroc for example serves Doha and Dubai).

In addition to Morocco, the carrier will launch four other new routes from Kuwait. As of May 3, Kuwait Airways will connect Kuwait to Manchester Airport, with two weekly flights on Airbus single-aisle aircraft. Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suarez Airport will be served from June 11 to September 15, on the return flight of the existing line to Malaga, with three weekly rotations in A330-200 (17 First, 30 Business and 165 Economy seats) to the Spanish capital, its second destination in the country.

Finally, Kuwait Airways will offer two weekly flights to Moscow-Domodedovo from June 2 to September 15. These flights are operated on the A320neo. The same pace is proposed to Salalah in the Sultanate of Oman from June 7.
