Further to my last post, I did a bit of digging on the net and it didn’t take me long to find some info on this jet.

Apparently this is the aircraft that the Emir and Kuwaiti VIP’s use for long range flights. Unlike the rest of the Kuwait Airways fleet, the aircraft (named Al-Jabriya) sports the Kuwaiti Government emblem on permanent basis behind the flight deck windows. The aircraft does operated scheduled flights too, however, the upper deck it sealed and no one is allowed to use it. It is only opened or used when the aircraft is operating on VIP flights such as this one.

Hope this helps.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that with us.

A Kuwait Airways B777 dropped in on us this afternoon for a ‘splash and dash’ en route to JFK. Shame the weather was so lousy, though! 🙁

Nice A320, Martin. I’ve seen that one! 😉
