Kuwait Airways (KU, Kuwait) will switch its transatlantic stop from Shannon, Ireland, to London Stansted in the United Kingdom later next month.

According to Airline Route, the Kuwaiti national carrier's Kuwait-New York JFK service will begin using the London airfield from April 21 onwards. Flights are on-board B777-300(ER) equipment.

The return service between the United States and Kuwait operates non-stop due to favourable tailwinds.
