The delivery marks a key step in Kuwait Airways’ transformation strategy, which includes enhancing its fleet to drive future growth. Kuwait Airways already operates a fleet of four A330-800s.

Kuwait Airways’ A330-900 will feature three cabin classes with 278 seats: 32 business class, 21 premium economy and 225 economy class seats.

Kuwait Airways currently operates a fleet of nine Airbus A320neo and 4 A330-800 aircraft. With operational commonality across the A320 and A330 Families, the introduction of the A330-900 will enable the airline to use the same pool of pilots and engineers, thereby achieving the highest levels of technical and operational efficiency.
