Kuwait 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.
