Hot off the heels of its recent expansion into Europe & the Mediterranean, namely Malaga (Spain) and Alexandria (Egypt), Kuwait Airways, the national airline of Kuwait and an Airline with an impressive and storied history in Sri Lanka spanning over four decades, is to further its expansion by operating into Milan, one of the busiest airports in Italy and fashion capital of the world.
