Airways entered the jet age in 1962 by leasing a Comet 4-C, the world's first
jet-engined airliner. In the 1960s, the national carrier rapidly expanded its
route map, and scheduled services to London begun three times a week. To keep
pace with fast-moving aviation needs, three Boeing 707s were delivered in 1968.
Ten years later, Kuwait Airways had an all -Boeing 707 fleet of eight aircraft.
