Kuwait Airways Vintage Photos
My mum was a flight attendant on Kuwait Airways during the 70’s and she always talks about how great the experience was and how she got to travel to so many places and meet a lot of new people. Two months ago while I was in Lebanon I found a stash of old photos she had taken during that time and I found the pictures really interesting since I love photos from the 70’s and 80’s that deal with Kuwait.
[Click here to view the pictures]
Note: The last two pictures were taken on board the Amir’s plane (Amir Sabah al-Salim Al Sabah) which she served on the last period of her career.
Note 2: If anyone has a bunch of “colored” photos dealing with Kuwait which were taken during the 70’s and 80’s send me them and I will post them online.
Note 3: The uniforms were designed by Dior.

I still have a photo i might scan today of the older uniforms which were this yellowish orangy color. That uniform was designed by Nina Ricci.

Those were the days when travelling meant something, take a 100 KD go to Czechoslovakia and have the fun of your life.
Too bad I missed it all.
