After rejecting Israeli passenger, could Kuwait Airways lose flights to Germany?

Kuwait Airways has come under fire in Germany after the carrier stopped an Israeli passenger from boarding its flight in Frankfurt. Critics have called on Berlin to pressure the airline into changing its practices. German Federal Transportation minister Andreas Scheuer called on his country's govt Monday to put political pressure on Kuwait Airways in retaliation for turning away the Israeli passenger. "If the discussions that have begun with the Kuwaiti side lead to no result, there will be negative repercussions for this airline in Germany," Scheuer said. Oliver Luksic, a parliamentarian from the liberal Free Democratic Party, has suggested that if Kuwait Airways refuses to allow Israeli passengers to board its flights on German territory, Frankfurt Airport should be allowed to take away its landing slots for the airline. <br/>
