Kuwait: Wataniya Airways, Kuwait's new luxury airline, has announced that its first destination will be Dubai and it will operate two flights a day from Kuwait starting February next year.
The airline also announced the start of its ticketing operations at a press conference held at Kuwait's Royal Terminal - the new luxury departure point for Wataniya Airways services.
Bookings will be taken from Monday, by either calling the Contact Centre on 00965 24379999, using the website www.wataniyaairways.com or through a travel agent.
