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.
