Kuwait Airways announced on Monday that it will purchase 31 Airbus planes instead of 28 as part of a restructured arrangement in which it will also lower orders for A350-900 planes.
The restructured aircraft deal, believed to be worth $3 billion, will save the loss-making carrier $200 million, according to Chief Executive Ma’an Razoq.
The new deal includes nine A320neos, six A321 neos, three A321neo-LRs, four A330-800neos, seven A330-900neos, and two A350-900s, with some already delivered.
“By the end of 2028, all jets will be delivered,” Razoq stated.
According to Airbus’ website, the original 28-jet order included 15 A320 neos, eight A330-800neos, and five A350-900s.
According to the website, the airline has already received six A320neos and two A330-800neos from the initial order.
Kuwait Airways is now aiming to break even by 2026, according to Chairman Ali Aldokhan.
