BA did, or does operate the 319 across the pond, AA run 321 to Hawaii, one does not need to be in a wide body to operate medium distance flights...

According to info i have Wataniya will launch with 2 A320's in May. Initial ground training to start in April. All seems a bit odd given they have nothing open for sale and no routes confirmed. Even their website still says nothing really.
They also have only settled 96% of their debts (from media reports) and have not settled previous debts to previous employees. That all appears to be a big risk in addition to a very dishonest approach.
Kuwaiti law requires that certain debts be settled before being allowed to operate so anyone looking to join this company should ask the right questions. Seems to me that given their debtors, there's a risk their plane could be impounded as soon as it leaves Kuwait and lands in another country.
They are claiming to be government backed. Who knows...?
They also claim to have a "good to go" from the Kuwaiti DGCA.
Ask the right questions and seek assurances before joining this organisation. A lot of people were burned last time around and are still burning.

What does the 10 days, 2 days refer to?
I believe they will launch. They've thrown money at it to brush the dust off again. I do not know if they have actually acquired aircraft yet nor do i know anyone else who has joined or is joining.
They do seem to have been recruiting cabin crew from the Philippines based on local ads.

First 320 pictures and videos
Perhaps the strongest confirmation that the launch is both inevitable and soon approaching is the "leak" on friday of several photos and videos of the aircraft and cabin etc.
I have attached one image here for those following. A ch-aviation article last week (8th May) also suggested the airline was still intending to launch late Q2.

Kuwait's Wataniya Airways plans to commence services to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina later this year. Sarajevo Airport has confirmed it is in talks with the private carrier which will resume flying from Kuwait City to the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia this summer, after it terminated all operations in 2011, two years following its launch.

They still don't settle debts. Perspective joiners should still be cautious.

Kuwaiti carrier Wataniya Airways hopes to resume operations this summer after a six-year absence.
The airline is to use the Airbus A320 for its services; a pair of 2014-vintage aircraft, MSNs 6080 and 6116, are about to enter its fleet.
Both units are owned by Air Arabia, according to Airfinance Journal’s Fleet Tracker.
Last year Wataniya Airways listed the UAE, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq as destinations for its first year of resumed operations. In the subsequent year it said it would target Lebanon, Jordan, Maldives, Sri Lanka, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and Spain.
Local media say Wataniya is awaiting approval from the Kuwaiti Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
