Having worked at Kuwait Airways I can attest that as long as the locals run the airline it will only ever be a public utility and will never make money in the same sense that BA or UA does. Perhaps this is OK, they seem to have a lot of money to throw at the airline but the fleet plan of, "one of each," was just a way to pay off all the idiot brother inlaws who manage the place. Buy an airbus and get a free house in the south of France.
