KUWAIT CITY, Dec 18, (KUNA): Kuwait Airways said on Thursday it would be rescheduling some of its flights as an initial stage in accordance with its new business strategy.

The changes will be applied according to the fifth article of the Freedoms of the Air set of aviation rules, which allows airlines to operate individual routes between two host countries, the state carrier explained in a statement.

Tickets sold specifically on the London-New York, New York- London route will be suspended, said the airline, however the Kuwait-New York (via London) and vice versa along with the Kuwait-London routes will not be affected. Confirmed flights on the London-New York, New York- London routes until Jan 16, 2016, will go ahead as planned, however passengers with confirmed tickets for trips on the route after that date will be given the option of either a complete refund or the opportunity to select another airline without any additional costs.

As of March 28, 2016, the airline has also decided to suspend its direct flights to Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Egyptian cities Sohag and Alexandria, with flights from Kuwait to London, from Kuwait to New York and Kuwait to Manila set to receive an increase in the winter 2016-17 period. The airline is undergoing a complete overhaul as it has completed an initial stage whereby it has received 12 leased Airbus aircraft and awaits the arrival of another 10 Boeing 777 aircraft in 2016.
