Jazeera Airways (J9, Kuwait) chairman Marwan Boodai has told Arabian Business that Jazeera would definitely be interested in participating in the privatization of national carrier and competitor Kuwait Airways (KU, Kuwait). Any investment in KAC would however be dependent on the government providing a "clear and clean balance sheet" for the carrier ahead of its privatization. Kuwait plans to offer up to 80% of Kuwait Airways shares to Kuwaiti companies, private individuals and Kuwait Airways employees within the next three years.
