Kuwait Airways launching direct Manchester flights
The North of England is set for a boost as a new direct link to the Gulf launches next month.
Direct flights begin between Kuwait and Manchester from 1 May.
Kuwait Airways will operate three flights a week (Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday).
Currently 49,000 people from across Manchester Airport’s catchment area travel indirectly to Kuwait
A further 800,000 people from across the North travel to Kuwait Airways’ onward destinations that are not currently served at Manchester Airport.
Ian Costigan, Interim Managing Director at Manchester Airport, said: “It’s great news that Kuwait Airways is starting direct flights from Manchester Airport, and I am sure it will be incredibly well received.”
Maen Razouqi, Kuwait Airways Chief Executive Officer, added:“ Manchester as a destination is of great importance to Kuwait Airways’ customers. It came after an increased demand as a distinct destination for tourists, especially in the summer season.”
