Dubai 09: Kuwait's Wantaniya studying fleet options for 2011 and beyond

Kuwait's Wataniya Airlines has begun evaluating fleet expansion options for 2011 and beyond.
The carrier, which launched services in January, now operates four leased Airbus A320s and is committed to
leasing three additional A320s next year.
Wataniya chief executive George Cooper says it is now looking at ordering or leasing aircraft for 2011 and beyond.
"We're just beginning now to think about what we should do in 2011," Cooper told the Flight Daily News. "This show has come at just the right time for us. We are now able to go to people and describe the thoughts we got. We're considering all options."
Cooper says he is talking at the show to manufacturers as well as leasing companies. While he acknowledges expanding Wataniya's A320 fleet would make the most sense, the carrier is also talking to Boeing. "It's useful to maintain flexibility," Cooper says.
He says the carrier is also not wed to the A320 and will consider A319s and A321s. "There are quite a few options for us," Cooper says. "We think early in the new year we'll present some options to the board and they'll decide what to do in terms of our development in 2011 and beyond."
Cooper would not say how many aircraft Wataniya is looking to add in 2011 and beyond, explaining this partly hinges on what happens with beleaguered flag carrier Kuwait Airlines. But he adds: "We're not planning to be a mega carrier."

Kuwaiti carrier Wataniya Airways has ceased operations effective immediately, having run into financial trouble.
Wataniya started up two years ago after the Kuwaiti Government carried out plans to create additional airlines in the small Gulf state.
It built a fleet of seven [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] aircraft but towards the end of last year admitted it would be slashing its network and removing three of the jets from service.
Wataniya has been unable to overcome its financial crisis and says it is ceasing all flights today.
"Given the current financial situation of the company and the lack of fair trade requirements in the local market, as well as the difficult political and security situation in the region, the board has decided to cease all Wataniya Airways operations," it says.
The airline adds that it will "enter a process to determine the future of the company" with its shareholders.
"In the meantime, no flights will operate," it states.
"Unfortunately, the company is not in a position to offer alternative flights to [passengers].
"We regret that matters have reached this juncture and deeply apologise for the inconvenience it has caused."
The airline's fleet had been leased from various companies including Kuwait's ALAFCO and [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
"While we take pride in our service during the past two years, [Wataniya's future] is a matter that rests with the owners of the company and will be discussed thoroughly in the upcoming general assembly meeting," the carrier says.
