KUWAIT: The Kuwait Airways Corporation rejected accusations made recently by lawmakers that blamed the management for failing to renew the carrier's fleet, insisting in a recent statement that the Parliament foiled multiple attempts to purchase new planes since 2005.
"The Parliament's state budget committee unanimously agreed to cancel a KD 1.5 million deal that was supposed to become the first installment in purchasing KAC's fleet," read the KAC statement, urging the public to refer to minutes of the parliament's sessions on the ninth and tenth of July 2007.
The deal was reportedly explained to the committee by then Managing Director Sheikh Talal Mubarak Al- Sabah, who gave details about a study carried out with the IATA "which proved the need to buy new aircraft to the KAC's fleet."
