Mubasher: Kuwait Airways Company (KAC) will sign a new contract with European planemaker Airbus within the coming two weeks to add modern aircraft to its fleet, Yousef Al-Jassim, board chairman of KAC, said.
The new fleet comprises 38 airplanes that will enter service by 2026, Al-Jassim told Al Qabas newspaper.
