Following yesterday's post seems an opportune moment to look at the relationship between a fourth Gulf airline and
Chicago O'Hare:
Kuwait Airways, which
once offered twice-weekly A340 flights from the tiny Emirate to the Windy City, initially via
Amsterdam then later offering the only non-stop service from Illinois to Lake
Geneva (the original body in Switzerland),
with 5th-freedom rights to carry passengers between Europe and the Midwest. The
service ended in November 2005, just as the mighty Emirates and other Mid-east mega-carriers began a massive expansion, with Kuwait Airways and Gulf Air being just two legacy carriers to retreat.
