Kuwait Airways to dispose of 5 aircraft
Kuwait Airways has appointed aircraft management, marketing and technical services specialist Skytech-AIC to sell 5 of its aircraft. Skytech-AIC will dispose of 4 Airbus A340-300s and a single Boeing 747-400. The A340s have been grounded for around a year, while the 747 is still in occasional service. “Even though we’ve not put out any information [on the aircraft] we’ve had a lot of interest expressed, but primarily from the part-out market,” Skytech-AIC co-director Richard Noble said. “A high percentage of the [A340s’] airframe parts are common with the A330, which increases the market for them quite considerably.” However, there were other possible options for the A340s, which were built in the mid-1990s. The single 747-400 had been used by the emir of Kuwait as a personal aircraft on occasions. <br/>
