my mum worked 23 years in KAC 1971-1994. And I have flown them every year from 1994 to 2007 to JFK/ORD from KWI.
Its glory years I feel were 1993-1998 when its A 340s, AB6s, A 310s and B 777s were pretty new. In 94 though we flew their B 747-200 to JFK...lovely flight.
Its really sad what has become of this airline over the past decade.
Kuwait Govt every year for the past 5 years has made a budget surplus of US$ 25-30 billion. If only few years ago, they could have given KU US$ 2.5 billion for a total fleet and brand image make over, we would have seen a whole new airline altogether.
I dont know whether its new "private share holders" will have the much needed cash to replace its entire aging fleet of wide bodied aircraft
