Kuwait Airways launching direct Manchester flights

Sunday, 27 Apr, 2022 0

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.”
