The new agreement will further contribute to promote bilateral partnership between the national carriers, while providing better travel options and connectivity to passengers between the State of Kuwait and the United States of America.

Kuwait Airways Chairman, Captain Abdulmohsen Salem Al-Fagaan stated, “Kuwait Airways is pleased to expand the horizons of cooperation by strengthening the codeshare agreement with Saudia as a strategic partner which will support Kuwait Airways and Saudia operations. We firmly believe that this agreement will enhance commercial and tourism relations between United States of America and Kuwait, and between the Middle East, GCC, Asia and USA, via Kuwait-Jeddah/Riyadh.”

Al-Fagaan added, “The agreement provides more travel options and facilities for valued passengers, as well as seamless transfer for both their business and leisure travel. Passengers and travel agents will be able to book these flights directly through our websites or the travel agents’ reservation systems. Both airlines have also agreed to explore additional possibilities of cooperation in the future with the Frequent Flyer Program and expansion of codeshare agreements.”

Al-Fagaan pointed out the agreement is a continuation of the objectives established by Kuwait Airways and is within the framework of its strategic plans to provide the best levels of service to its esteemed customers. He also indicated that the Blue Bird aims to provide the best options in its diverse network worldwide, whether through the company’s direct flights or through new partnership with prestigious carriers such as Saudi Arabian Airlines. This is in line with the company’s objectives to link Kuwait to all parts of the world, through these partnerships and to accomplish its desired goals.

Al-Fagaan concluded his statement by emphasizing that the agreement will enhance the depth of relations between the two brotherly countries and develop them for the benefit of all parties. He also extended his sincere appreciation to both the teams for their efforts in making this agreement effective.

Arved Von Zur Muehlen, Chief Commercial Officer at Saudia, stated: “Expanding our codeshare partnership with Kuwait Airways reflects Saudia’s commitment to providing seamless travel experiences and enhanced connectivity. This agreement not only strengthens our ties with Kuwait Airways but also fosters greater collaboration between our two nations, opening up new avenues for commercial and tourism relations. We look forward to furthering our cooperation and exploring additional opportunities with Kuwait Airways.”

It is worth noting that Kuwait Airways and Saudi Arabian Airlines had signed a Codeshare Agreement in May 2023 to promote bilateral and strategic partnership for the benefit of customers of both airlines and enabling each airline to place the other airline’s marketing code on its flights operated between the State of Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and beyond routes and for other subsequent services.
