00:00 The press conference, which was held following the General Assembly of the Kuwaiti Aerospace Lines Company
00:05 on the financial year ending in December 2022,
00:10 in which the head of the board and the executive president presented what appeared to be a blank book,
00:15 in which he presented the achievements that the company achieved during the board's implementation period,
00:20 which began in August 2020 and ended this month.
00:26 The number of passengers increased from 1,766,000 to 2,542,000,
00:35 which is an increase of 44%.
00:39 Our percentage is between 29% and 30% of the previous market.
00:48 The number of flight hours increased from 46,337 to 71,861, which is an increase of 55%.
01:00 The Kuwaiti company was criticized by the UN Secretary-General
01:05 and called to dismiss officials in it for supporting the existence of administrative problems,
01:11 financial corruption and the negligence in hiring new graduates,
01:16 in exchange for the promotion of graduates to important positions and for long-term contracts.
01:20 I don't know what the executive president, who lacks consultations,
01:24 has to do to hire a graduate consultant with a monthly salary of 6,500 Kuwaiti dinars,
01:31 and in return, our sons and daughters, who have more than a year of experience.
01:35 Kuwaiti companies give opportunities for Kuwaiti companies to succeed.
01:38 Thank God, in 2022, we succeeded in hiring 212 Kuwaiti companies for all graduates.
01:48 After the indication that the company aims to reach the point of equality by the end of the next year
01:53 or to be listed as the best 20 airlines in the world,
01:57 the two officials confirmed that the latest successes were not without challenges,
02:02 some of which are still in place,
02:04 and that the company does not support or treat its employees in a favorable way
02:08 unlike what national carriers in the near future enjoy.
02:13 The fuel of the planes is bought from Kuwait and sold in Dubai.
02:22 Imagine, it is cheaper than buying from Kuwait.
02:27 As I said, we want the first-class employee treatment.
02:32 The president also presented the delay cases that he suffered from recently after the Kuwaiti flights,
02:37 saying that the delay in flights is within the limits of the allowed,
02:41 and at least internationally,
02:43 and that the company offered full compensation to any passenger who expressed a desire not to travel as a result of the delay.
