message: I don't believe the passenger numbers to be correct that the airline carrying each year!
Kuwait International Airport is the only airport in Kuwait and is Kuwait Airways home hub and don't have bases anywhere else, and the airport only handles around 5 million passengers a year and it is stated that Kuwait airways is carrying in-excess of 20 million passengers a year!  All 20 million passengers would need to arrive or depart through Kuwait airport, so these figures are clearly wrong!
Also it is not possible for an airline with only 20 aircraft in their fleet to carry 20 million passengers!  This is impossible.

message: edit will be removed in a week or so unless solid arguments for their inclusion in the article are provided here, given that  contributions to the page have been unexplained. As I already stated in my edit summaries when I reverted them, the airline does not include the Boeing 747-400 as part of the fleet. Furthermore, Planespotters.net is not a reliable source. I therefore see no reason for the edit to stay.--Jetstreamer  13:32, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

message: The following edits have recently been reverted   . Some of them were unsourced but the most important thing is that the airline hasn't ordered any Boeing 777-300ER yet. Ther are references in the article mentioning the carrier is just considering the acquisition.--Jetstreamer  01:39, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

message: United States Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx has threatened the airline with legal action for discrimination against Israeli passport holders. References are:

Is this notable enough to be included in the article? Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 20:27, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As discussed above any threat of legal action is not notable, foreign governments make threats all the time and none pass the threshold of notability particularly against an airline following the law of its state of registration. MilborneOne (talk) 20:33, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

text: I don't see a clear consensus for inclusion because two editors said ″probably yes″, other two said ″no″, and you think it should be included. Notwithstanding, I think inclusion won't do any harm, so let it be. I'm fine with it, but I don't think the added content fits well within the ″History″ section.--Jetstreamer  23:42, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to read more than the !vote (i.e. read the reasoning, which I interpreted as "not the way it was previously written, but possibly yes if re-written", which I did re-write).

thread_title:  RFC: Should a threat of legal action by the Secretary of Transportation against the airline be included in the article? 

message: After a week, the RFC can be closed. Thank you to all the editors who chimed in. It appears that the two editors,  & , making the WP:NOTNEWS argument failed to substantiate their claim that legal threats are routine. Based on the feedback from , it seems that the thinking is that the legal threat is not significant enough to be included by itself, so the paragraph should be re-written to focus on the controversy that the airline is discriminating and the threat from Secretary Foxx is only part of a larger response. For the sake of WP:NPOV we can certainly write that the airline is using Kuwaiti Law to defend itself. That's what I have done here. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 18:26, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Summary

message: Can someone who is allowed to edit this article please add this to the section on Operations in the United States?
---
The Department of Transportation said that the airline was failing to comply with US law, both because the airline was engaging in unreasonable discrimination and because the airline's actions were inconsistent with US anti-boycott laws. In November 2015, the airline asked the Federal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to consider the dispute. 
In December 2015, in response to the matter the airline dropped its New York-London route. Lancman said: "If you’re so anti-Semitic that you would rather cancel a flight than provide service to Israeli passport holders, then good riddance." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.34.71.18 (talk) 06:06, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The first sentence is not really needed, since the issue is more about discrimination than about the Arab League boycott of Israel (the boycott is a motivation for the discrimination, but that is beyond the scope of the article about the airline). I have added everything else in these two edits. --Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 17:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add? 

message: I had originally named the subsection as "Operations in the United States" because at the time it appeared that the United States would heavily fine or prohibit Kuwait Airways from operating within the US. Since the matter was resolved by Kuwait Airways dropping the NY to London route, I renamed the section to "New York to London route". I think that's probably a more appropriate name, as that is at the heart of the controversy. Feel free to change to something else if you can think of a better subsection heading.--17:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subsection heading 

message: I don't see the logic in this  edit. The 1982 hijacking was removed for being unsouced but I see a lot of material in the same section that is also unreferenced and was kept.--Jetstreamer  17:13, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not the type of editor who removes text just because it is unsourced. I removed the subsection because of the hijackings because all the hijackings should be listed within the main section of the incidents (i.e. there is no need for the subsection). Of the three hijackings that were listed in the subsection, two were already listed in the main section. The third was not listed, but I was not going add it to the main section since it was not sourced. If somebody else wants to add it back to the main section with a  tag, be my guest. --Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 14:41, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
