Saudi Gazette - Kuwait may defer plan to acquire Airbus fleet

Saudi Gazette - Kuwait may defer plan to acquire Airbus fleet:

"Kuwait Airways may delay a plan to buy 25 new aircraft from Airbus, a Kuwaiti newspaper reported on Monday, saying the state-owned carrier would prioritize leasing planes instead.

Kuwait Airways signed an initial agreement with Airbus in May to buy 15 A320neo narrow-body jets and 10 of Airbus's new A350-900 XWB, in the biggest overhaul of its fleet since the 1990 Iraqi invasion. It also agreed to lease a further 22 Airbus jets as part of the deal.

Under the plan, the new planes are expected for delivery in 2019."
