Kuwait Airways restructured its order with Airbus SE, adding longer-distance single-aisle aircraft while reducing a commitment to the largest jetliners as it adapts to post-Covid demand.
The loss-making Gulf airline added three A321LR narrowbodies, which will be used to serve mid-size destinations such as Manchester, England, from Kuwait. It also upscaled six A320neos to the bigger A321neo model, Chairman Ali Al-Dukhan said Monday.
