FARNBOROUGH: Kuwaiti carrier Wataniya orders 10 E195-E2 jets

2018-07-17T14:13:08+01:00

Kuwaiti carrier Wataniya Airways has ordered 10 Embraer 195-E2s and taken purchase rights on 10 more.

The deal is Wataniya's second at this year's Farnborough air show, after it yesterday firmed an agreement to take 25 Airbus A320neo jets.

Wataniya restarted operations in July 2017, and currently flies four A320s to destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe.

It emerged as a new operation after a predecessor with the same name ceased flying in 2011.
