Kuwait Airways, the Official National Carrier of the State of Kuwait, highlighted that its flights to New York (John F Kennedy Airport) have recently increased to daily flights service, with a significant increase in demand driving to this decision.

There has been a significant 20% increase in market share to Kuwait Airway’s key North American destination in 2016. The additional flights service now also benefits from the fact that the airline’s new Boeing 777-300ER Aircraft are primarily servicing this route.
