 I am very proud, that Kuwait Airways is starting its daily flights from Colombo, beginning 31^st March 2015. Relationship between State of Kuwait and  Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka has always been friendlier and solidarity throughout the history and further we would like to strengthen the relationship between the two countries even more.  There are 130,000 Sri Lankans employed in Kuwait currently and with the increase it would strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two nations. Sri Lanka has been an exotic location for the Kuwaitis to come and enjoy their Holidays because of the prevailing harmony and stability in Sri Lanka. With the new development, it’s my gratitude to wish the addition of  7^th frequency a success.


Additionally there would be a increase of 1160 seats & cargo space with the daily operations which is due to start on 31^st March 2015. It will offer our valued passengers to have date flexibility, quick connections, dual European destinations with great convenience & affordable cost.  Cargo capacity will now increase with extra tonnage available.
