Flydubai team receives enthusiastic welcome at new Kuwait terminal

Flydubai last week celebrated moving its eight daily flight operations from the main terminal at Kuwait International Airport to the Sheikh Saad Al Abdallah General Aviation Terminal.
The move to the terminal offers an enhanced customer experience for flydubai passengers flying in and out of Kuwait.
Flydubai's inaugural flight was welcomed with a water cannon salute. Fawaz Abdulaziz Al-Farah, president of Kuwait Civil Aviation and a delegation of Kuwaiti officials received the aircraft on the tarmac.
Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) and chairman of flydubai, led the delegation that included Jamal Al-Hai, ESVP for international relations and communications at Dubai Airports; Tariq Al-Hamed, Kuwaiti consul general to Dubai; Mohammed Abdulla Ahli, director general of the DCAA together with flydubai's CEO Ghaith Al-Ghaith; and Hamad Obaidalla and Kenneth Gile, both COOs.
Sheikh Ahmed said: "The aviation links between Kuwait and the UAE have played a significant role in boosting the already strong relationship between our two nations. Flydubai will continue to play an important role in creating free flows of trade and tourism."
Fawaz Abdulaziz Al-Farah said: "We welcome flydubai and are pleased to open the doors of Sheikh Saad Al Abdallah General Aviation Terminal to passengers who will benefit from all the convenient facilities this terminal has to offer."
Flydubai's newly introduced Business Class premium offering will be available on selected flights on the Kuwait route starting in October.
Together with the move to the dedicated terminal, this will provide a greater choice for passengers, who will have access to faster check-in services, shortened queuing time at the immigration desks and a more personalized flying experience.
Flydubai launched its operations to Kuwait in March 2010 with a double daily service. Three years later, the carrier transported more than one million passengers between Dubai and Kuwait and increased its frequency to eight flights a day.
