Airbus A380 800 Air Kuwait

Air Kuwait operates a fleet of 4 A380's on their flagship routes to for example London or Paris. The A380's were bought just for prestige. The moment Airbus released the jet the Sheik immediately wanted some for the flag carrier. They decided to operate them as "a cheaper way to Asia", using Kuwait as a stopover. The jets are used on a rotational schedule, for example flying first to London, then back to Kuwait, refuelling, taking on more passengers and then continuing over to Hong Kong. This has proven to be pretty successful.
