Kuwait Aviation, Wataniya Airways, CEO, George Cooper
The Kuwaiti National market even though it is a small population.  Kuwaiti Nationals travel a lot both for business and leisure.  We are not in a price driven market, and the scheduling isn’t always most important, however, what is most important is the quality of experience brought to the customer by the airline.  In the region there are airlines that provide this world-class experience and we wanted to figure out how to differentiate ourselves among them with our level of experience.
