Kuwait Airways to increase flights through Shannon to JFK
Kuwait Airways is to double the frequency of its transit service through Shannon Airport to New York JFK from the end of next month to 6 times a week. The service began operating 3 times weekly from the end of June for an initial 4-month period, but the airline has now committed to extending the service until Feb 15th next, with the frequencies doubling from Oct 31st. The flight travels from Kuwait to JFK via Shannon to allow for passenger and baggage screening but does not pick up any passengers at the Co Clare airport. Andrew Murphy, CCO at Shannon Group, said that "it illustrates again Shannon’s suitability as a transit stop for long-haul services between the Middle East and the US but also other east-west routes,” he said. <br/>
