Kuwait Airways Corporation (KAC) received on Thursday the first Airbus A-320 plane as part of a deal to upgrade its fleet.
The delivery ceremony was held at Airbus headquarters in Toulouze, France, the national carrier has announced in the statement.
This is the first of a 37-plane deal sought by KAC, and marks the outset of an ambitious plan to modernize the fleet, Head of the KAC's Media and Public Relations Department Fayez Al-Enezi said.
It is a crucial moment for the KAC, as it commences modernizing the fleet, the statement quoted Corporation's Chairperson Rasha Al Roumi as saying.
Last February Kuwait Airways signed a final agreement to lease 12 Airbus A320 jets and buy 25 aircraft including ten A350-200 and 15 A320neo Family aircraft as part of the airlines' fleet renewal strategy.
Among a series of moves to upgrade its fleet, the KAC also agreed last month to buy 10 wide-body 777-300ER passenger aircraft from manufacturer Boeing.
