Kuwait has its own oil reserves which is enough for another 10 decades to maintain. The undersigned is living and working in this country for the last 3 decades and that too in shipping and airline industry. This is the first time I came across in last 28 years that Kuwait Airways is threatening AIR-INDIA and INDIAN AIRLINES during summer peak hoildays season in demand of more flights to India which is rediculus and shameful. Kuwait Airways should have raised this issue during off-season and serve notices to Air India and Indian Airlines atleast 6 months in advance. During this 6 months if both countries fail to solve the contentious issue amicably then all our Indian summer passengers could have grace period to choose their airlines of choice for their holidays without any inconvience caused to them. Kuwait Airways have 30 flights a week to India. In addition, Jazeera Airways is flying daily to India and whatelse they want more? Air India and Indian Airlines don't have a daily flight from India to Kuwait, instead opened the doors to Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways to operate their daily flights to India. Out of the 600,000 Indians in Kuwait a major share of air-traffic have been controlled by Kuwait Airways compared to any other airlines in the world. All the world dailies are having headlines of Kuwait Airways,Air-India, Indian Airlines and all its passengers who have booked their tickets for July,2007 and who have already travelled to India. In my opinion Government of Kuwait should intervene and solve the issue as fast as possible so that our people can travel as per their bookings made earlier without any further disturbances. Kuwait and India have excellant bilaterial relationship for the last 5 decades and this relation should not be jeopardise by Kuwait Airways alone. Let us join hands and work for a better tomorrow.
