@ jack … well i dont know whether you were in kuwait airways or not but let me tell the reality to the people … i know people like you likes to add some spices where ever needed .
YOU SAID :” I worked for the airline and their safety training is terrible ” . so i dont believe you that you worked here because if you did so you would be knowing that KAC safety and service training is so accurate and upto the standards that other airline instructors came here for training .
*secondly you said :”They don’t teach very much and when you go for the exams the teacher walks around giving everyone who’s having problems the answers.” haha what a joke,it clearly shows you never been in thier examination room .. and it dosnt happen either .. they are very strict with thier safety procedures.
*Thirdly .. yes some pilots are over weight but havin thier pants so high that thier socks are visible .. next timw when you see such a pilot .. such change the channel cz may be you are looking at cartoons in TV .dont jz talk non-sense here
i know KAC has some draw backs but that dosnt mean you say what ever comes into
ur mind.

@ ghost face … “…dont be nasty to them(crew)..they have ways to get back at u…be realistic ppl…”
he was telling the general nature or behaviour of cabin crew not specially KAC why do all the passenger become so ROYAL only when travelling with KAC ??then you complain crew is not nice HUH !!

@ mech … safety recored mean safety recored … by sayin LUCKY RECORD you are makin fun of yourself.luck is not 55 years of flying .. luck can b some flitesbut not all flites. you are simply a KAC hater and the stories you are telling about mechanics and stuff … no one is bothered to listen to them .. the only thing passenger need is safety and whoch they are getting better than da ones havin
A380.

@destiny … enjoy ur flite with KAC .. i assure you . i am very big fan of KACa nd all these ppl talkin here .. trust me many of them are just sharing others experience .. they never been on KAC by themselves and after tha flight do write your comments here .. and hopefully it will be good report :).

This will be the first time we will take KA, i have already booked myself and my 3 year old son Manila-London-Manila before i have read your comments.

Please give me tips and advices on how we can travel smoothly. Which seats should I take (Economy) and which seats to avoid? I need to have the TV working as my son might get bored and become cranky on-board.

On board, are the crews child-friendly? Please send me more information, as I already fear flying KA, esp with a toddler. I will appreaciate it very much. serend1pity@yahoo.co.uk

Kuwait air offers cheap airfare, apart from that, everything about this airline is poor service. Their attendants show preferential treatments to arabs. Some people are talking about their safety record. Well my seat was broken, when I complained, their attitude was like – deal with it! God knows how bad other maintenance is.

I hope enough people can voice their complaints, so that Kuwait air learns something about customer service.

As Im one of kuwait airways as crew member for long time almost 10 years kuwait airways rlines in the persian gulf offer the best service ,safety and care to all paxs and the crew were well trained most of lebanese ppl. travel from kwi to bey free their boss in kuwait pay their tickets,I see always our paxs like our service and meals specially indian-americans came from the states to visit their original home twon in india they loves our veg. meals they clean the trays nothing left in the tray then the say oh food is so bad,any way any airlines in the world has weak points and possitive ones. in kuwait airways the only problem is cuz our planes old and this due to make the company private soon.

Well my opinion might be just different from all of you who criticize Kuwait Airways. Regardless to all the other complains anyone has for flight delay or service, have you guys ever noticed it has been flying from decades now and had never had a fatal accident till now (Touch wood) unlike all the other major and well known airlines so far.

I think it is the worlds safest Airlines to fly with so far and may I ask the criticizers one question? What is more important? Safety or other minor problems? (Which all Airlines have also) Think about it every body.

Go and check the safety record of this Air lines comparing to others. Besides this, all airlines have delay problems so Kuwait Airways must not be criticized alone. They are trying there best to keep them selves on time.

Remember if a delay happens then either it is the fault of a passenger delay or they are making sure that there is no problem with the plane for your own safety. I think people must appreciate there good maintenance habit which is for the safety of people like all of us.

Safety record? u mean lucky record…Yes they are extremely lucky that theres no mechanical failures (major) in the aircraft despite of malpractices. Yes, pilots are the best.. assuming but majority of safety depends on the mechanical aspects (maintenance)..You can teach a monkey how to fly a plane but u cant teach it how to fix the plane.

Im employed there..a mechanic. Ive been working in different countries/companies but this KAC is unique. Most of their mechanics just learned from experience (ignorant and arrogant of proper maintenance procedures). Most of them are not really trained. Just some porters who got absorbed by companies bcoz most of their mechs went to other company.

Despite of these..there are still some few good men/women who struggles to keep other’s footsteps straight. Good mechs who corrects others mistakes but not recognized not even got promoted. Few people working long hours just to make sure others wont mess with the aircraft.That is why KAC is stil safe to fly. and has a huge potential to be great (KAC is government owned…Kuwait is very very rich country).I think they can be the best in just couple of years provided that the management’s morale will be high.

Well guys everybody is talking about Kuwait Airways from his point of View honestly i come from a family that we have pilots on Kuwait Airways .. they have the best pilots i the world and Kuwait Airways is the first company to present (co-flying A320 and A340) aircraft that means a single pilot can fly both types. that will add a big plus for Kuwait Airways pilots .. and i assure they have the best pilots .. and for saftey record thank god Kuwait Airways has a clean record compared to other airlines. the only problem is to get rid of politics.

Rest assured that is it (until today) safe to fly with Kuwait Airways, as they have been flying to non-stop from Kuwait – New York via the Boeing 777 since 2001 or something. Until now, we never heard of a critical situation facing Kuwait Airways from flights between Kuwait and New York so what makes you think that the flight will be unsafe because you decided to board or fly it? Be releastic dude and take it easy, and you’ll be on the ground long before you know it (that’s of course only if cabin is not important to you, lols)

But is it safe? I’m flying London – JFK on a 777. Those planes are not very old… I’m not a good flier anyway so I’d like an honest opinion from someone who knows the technical side of these things. I don’t care what the cabin is like, is the bloody thing going to fall out of the sky??

Beeing in KAC for 25 years I just want to say you are all right.
Every one from his own experience can be angry or happy about our services. Because it always go back to services.
It is right to say that that and that does not work. But again what to say about a Public Airlines who is overstaff., aging planes, and politics interfering in all aspect of the Airlines.
Just wish that our rulers and governement realise the importance of a Nice Modern Airlines to be proud about.

“…dont be nasty to them(crew)..they have ways to get back at u…be realistic ppl…”

Is that a threat? It’s that mentality that keeps passengers away from kuwait airways. It is amazing how those old planes are still being maintained. It seems as if Kuwait Airways has so many problems from the top all the way down. Todays Arab Times has an article on how 7 KAC employees embezzled 882,000kd from KAC. It’s a shame but I think so much more money has been unaccounted for then just the few stories you read about KAC in the papers.
