The LCC said in a filing to the Kuwait Stock Exchange that it has now been allocated the requisite land at the airport with construction set to commence in due course. The whole process, inclusive of plan and permit approvals, is expected to take fifteen months. The final structure will feature a passenger terminal alongside a multi-storey car park.

The project forms part of the carrier's long term expansion plan which hinges on several core objectives including an internet check-in facility, in-flight WiFi internet, a business class lounge, and the launch of long haul flights.
