KUWAIT: Kuwait
Airways ranked eighth in punctuality among 175 international airlines,
according to a report by the British aviation company (OAG), which is
specialized in checking the productive performance of the civil aviation
sectors. "We are honored by the latest report issued by the world's most
credible agencies in evaluating the performance of airports and airlines in the
world," Chairman of Kuwait Airways Board of Directors, Yousef Al-Jassem,
said in a press release.

Jassem pointed
out that the results of the report showed that the rate of the punctuality of
Kuwait Airways was 88 percent in July. He noted that being the eighth place
among the 175 major international airlines affirms the good application of
time-bound policies adopted by the board of directors and implemented by the
executive management efficiently and professionally.

Jassem stressed
the company's endeavor to achieve more, to acquire the satisfaction of its
customers in various fields, and to complete its leading role in the field of
civil aviation at both Arab and international levels. Kuwait Airways was
established in 1953 as a private company under the name of 'Kuwait National
Airlines Limited.' The government of Kuwait acquired 100 percent ownership in
1962 and has about 40 destinations worldwide. - KUNA
