The airline said that the return of employees to KASCO does not imply their dismissal. Instead, it aims to correct and amend procedures to comply with Audit Bureau requirements, allowing affected employees to continue their work at Kuwait Airways as full employees in available vacancies.
This initiative is expected to create job opportunities at KASCO for national competencies and support the policy of replacement by empowering local talent, said the company. This move is intended to contribute to the development and growth of national companies, fostering professional growth and enabling local talent to play a significant role in the expansion of the national business sector.
