Wataniya Airways, Kuwait’s first premium service airline, has announced the signing of extensive corporate deals with prominent Kuwaiti and UAE corporations as part of its regional expansion strategy.

Watanitya Airways chairman and managing director Abdulsalam Al Bahar unraveled the details of the agreement at the ongoing 'Travel World Expo 2009' in Kuwait.

The companies that have signed the corporate agreements include Agility, Al Mulla Group, Al Shaya, the American University of Kuwait, HSBC, Kamco, Kharafi Group, Kipco, Reuters, Oil Sector Services Company (OSSC) and Zain, he said.

Dubai-based corporate clients list includes Al Qasimi, Danube, City Pharmacy Group, and Future Pipes Industry from Dubai.

The travellers will be able to benefit from all the routes that Wataniya Airways currently operates - Dubai, Bahrain, Beirut, Cairo - and the recently announced destinations of Amman, Damascus and Sharm El Sheikh which will commence in early June.

“I am delighted that we are able to offer our premium service experience to so many at preferential prices through the implementation of these corporate deals – especially given that we are nearing the peak summer season where our guests are looking to travel to interesting places in style,” Al Bahar remarked.

"These agreements further establish Wataniya Airways as the carrier of choice for many local and international companies and we are looking forward to expanding our network as we become more established in the industry," he noted.

"Our corporate customers are looking for ways to help their staff travel with ease and comfort at competitive rates  that improve productivity overall, and we are happy to be able to comply," he added.

These arrangements provide company employees and their family members with favourable deals onboard Wataniya Airways’ First Class and Premium Economy cabins to all their destinations.-TradeArabia News Service
