Kuwait: Kuwait Airways resumed commercial flights to London yesterday, with one flight per week. “Our first flight to London yesterday reached the complete seating capacity of the Boeing B777-300,” Acting CEO Essa Al-Haddad said.

“The Boeing B777-300 provides full entertainment through the latest technology, which makes the flight real fun, especially in the Royal and Business classes. Also, delicious meals are served according to international health procedures. The crew is wearing facemasks and using sanitizers for the passengers’ safety during the flights,” added Haddad.

These health procedures are important for resuming commercial flights that stopped due to the pandemic. “The pandemic negatively affected the aviation sector worldwide.
