Wataniya Airways

Wataniya Airways (Q9) was a Kuwaiti scheduled passenger airline based at Kuwait International Airport, with its historical hub at Kuwait/Sheikh Saad Terminal. Its network was regional-to-near-international rather than long-haul or cargo-focused, with services reported across the Gulf, wider Middle East and, in its final period, parts of Eastern Europe. For travelers, the key point is operational status: Kuwait’s aviation authorities revoked the airline’s operating licence in December 2018 after earlier suspension over delays and cancellations. Treat Q9 references as historical unless a primary regulator or airline source shows otherwise; do not assume current alliance benefits or mileage crediting.
