Kuwait Airways, UK's Rolls-Royce mull over aircraft operational efficiency
LONDON, May 14 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's national carrier and the UK's Rolls-Royce PLC Holding Group agreed on Wednesday to beef up efforts to develop the airline's aircraft engine system, saying the measure aims to ratchet up operational efficiency. The joint endeavor with the UK-based engineering giant is part of Kuwait Airways' strategy to strengthen operational efficiency to cope with the changes in the global aviation market, the Kuwaiti flag carrier's chairman Abdulmohsen Al-Fagaan was cited as saying in a statement after talks between the two sides.
These endeavors are part of the Kuwaiti national carrier's "strategic goals" that are firmly backed the political leadership, while the initiative is a step towards greater cooperation between Kuwait Airways and the British engineering firm, added the statement.
Kuwait Airways routinely undertakes such initiatives that help improve the quality of its fleet of aircrafts, the official underlined, saying the airline's clientele will be the ultimate beneficiaries of maximum convenience onboard the flag carrier's aircrafts.
On Rolls-Royce PLC Holding Group's "rapport" with Kuwait Airways, the former's chief customer officer Ewen McDonald said that the Kuwaiti flag carrier is one of the UK-based firm's most trusted business partners.
These joint initiatives allow Kuwait Airways to strengthen its aircraft system, which in turn, leads to more "durable and efficient" operation, added the official. (end) nbs.nam

Kuwait's New Law Sets Deadline, Penalties for Unpaid Service Fees
KUWAIT CITY, June 8: In a move aimed at tightening fiscal discipline and ensuring the effective recovery of dues, the Kuwaiti government has issued Decree-Law No. 75 of 2025 concerning the collection of fees and financial costs for the use of public facilities and services. The law introduces a framework to govern the financial relationship between ministries, public institutions, and beneficiaries of state-provided services, reinforcing the principle that public utilities—ranging from electricity and water to telecommunications and transport—are not free but must be paid for under regulatory and administrative mandates. Core Provisions and Mechanisms Automatic Service Suspension and Installment Flexibility Under Article 1, if a debtor (whether an individual or a private legal entity) fails to pay dues within 30 days of notification, the concerned ministry or public body may temporarily suspend services. This suspension is lifted automatically through the government's digital systems once the outstanding amounts are paid. The law allows for installment-based repayments for those financially unable to settle the dues in one go, pending approval from the creditor. However, failure to adhere to the installment plan leads to its cancellation and the immediate initiation of debt recovery procedures. Mandatory Grievance Process Before Legal Action To prevent unnecessary litigation, Article 2 mandates that any individual disputing the suspension of services or the calculation of dues must first file a written grievance with the concerned authority. A response must be issued within 30 days. If no response is given, it is considered a rejection. Only after this process can a lawsuit be filed—within 30 days of either the rejection notice or the lapse of the response period, whichever comes first. Priority Lien on Debtor's Assets In a bold move to secure state revenues, Article 3 grants government creditors a statutory lien over all assets—movable and immovable—owned by the debtor. This gives the state legal priority in recovering its dues ahead of other creditors. Immediate Enforcement of Debt Recovery Article 4 elevates any official debt document or collection decision issued by a government entity to the status of an 'executive instrument.' This means the state can enforce collection directly without the need to go through lengthy court proceedings, following the procedures of Kuwait's Civil and Commercial Procedures Law. Ten-Year Statute of Limitations with Interruptions Article 5 introduces a 10-year statute of limitations for fee collection, starting from the due date or the end of the relevant fiscal year for annual fees. Crucially, this limitation can be interrupted by any official notice from the creditor that includes the outstanding amount and a request for payment, effectively restarting the clock on the limitation period. Judicial Fees Exempted Article 6 clearly states that the new law does not apply to judicial fees, which remain governed by Kuwait's Judicial Fees Law No. 17 of 1973. Rationale Behind the Legislation The explanatory note accompanying the law clarifies that the government's decision stems from widespread abuse of the existing system. Many beneficiaries of public services—including water, electricity, communications, and municipal services—have delayed or avoided payments, thereby burdening the state financially. This law is not meant to serve merely as a budgetary resource measure, but as a strategic tool for ensuring the efficient management of public utilities and discouraging negligence by debtors. It aims to restore the financial discipline required for a sustainable public service framework. Moreover, the government recognizes that some debts have accumulated to levels beyond immediate payment. By permitting structured payment plans, the law seeks to offer a balanced approach—enforcing payment obligations while recognizing genuine financial hardship. Implementation Timeline Article 7 mandates that ministers shall enforce the law within their jurisdictions, and it will come into effect three months from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette. Decree-Law No. 75 of 2025 marks a pivotal shift in Kuwait's approach to public service fee collection. By combining legal enforcement with digital automation, flexible repayment options, and judicial safeguards, the law positions the state to better protect public funds while promoting accountability among service users. It's a clear message that the era of unchecked fee evasion is coming to an end.

Americans slow to book summer travel amid discount hunting
NEW YORK: This year's hottest summer travel trend? Waiting for deals. Americans are scaling back travel plans from flights to drives or waiting to book only if the price is right, a tell-tale sign of an industry slowdown that's got travel companies worried. Hotel summer bookings are either flat or falling from last year, and airline bookings are down even though airfares have also declined, as economic concerns fuel a pullback in spending. Travel companies including Delta Air Lines, Marriott International, and online travel agency Booking Holdings have withdrawn or revised their 2025 annual forecasts as US demand softens. Airbnb flagged shrinking booking windows as consumers take a 'wait-and-see' approach and book trips closer to their check-in dates. That has left companies with less visibility into the second half of the year. Delta said in early April it was premature to project the full year given macroeconomic uncertainty. United Airlines said there's a reasonable chance that bookings could weaken. 'It's very clear that consumers are waiting to make decisions, including for the summer,' Southwest Airlines CEO Robert Jordan said at the Bernstein Annual Strategic Decisions Conference in late May, adding that demand was stable but lower than expected in January. US summer flight bookings are down 10 percent year-over-year, according to Flighthub, an online travel agency, even though airfares have dropped. 'You can't keep an airline seat on the shelf in a warehouse. If you don't fill that seat tomorrow and the airplane flies, it's gone,' Steve Hafner, CEO of Kayak, a Booking Holdings unit, told Reuters. Average summer flight prices declined 7 percent, with flights to long-haul destinations like Sydney, Australia 23 percent cheaper year-over-year, according to Kayak. Hotel summer bookings in major US cities are flat-to-down year-over-year, according to data from CoStar. Average room rates are expected to rise roughly 1.3 percent in 2025, down from a 1.8 percent increase in 2024. 'Travel is certainly under some pressure because people are not feeling as comfy as they once did,' said Michael Chadwick, CEO of Fiscal Wisdom Wealth Management. Weaker dollar Travelers may start to find deals, such as a free third night for staying two nights, as hoteliers look to fill rooms, said Jan Freitag, national director of hospitality analytics at CoStar Group. That's what Jackie Lafferty is hoping for. Her summer plans have shifted from a possible family vacation in Hawaii or Florida to her home state of California instead. 'By the time we broke down the cost of the flights, the hotel and the rental car, it looked expensive, it felt unreasonable,' said Lafferty, a Los Angeles-based public relations director. The dollar's weakness has driven up the cost of overseas vacations. In March, American travelers surveyed by Deloitte had planned to increase budgets for their longest summer trip by 13 percent. By April, Deloitte's survey found Americans planned on spending about the same as last year. 'The dollar is just not going as far and I think people are starting to realize that,' said Chirag Panchal, CEO of the Ensuite Collection, a Dallas luxury travel concierge. The dollar has fallen about 10 percent since mid-January, when it was its strongest in more than two years. Panchal's clients, who had booked big trips to Europe last year, are either staying domestic or going to closer destinations like Canada or the Caribbean. 'We might go international at the end of the summer. If we do, it will be last-minute and spur of the moment based on cheaper flights,' said Rachel Cabeza, 28, an actor and fitness instructor based in New Jersey. For now, her only summer plan is a getaway to Martha's Vineyard in nearby Massachusetts. — Reuters

Citizen blasts opaque debt campaign, files court case
KUWAIT CITY, June 4: The Court of First Instance received a new case filed by a Kuwaiti citizen who has demanded full disclosure of the distribution and beneficiaries of donations totaling millions of dinars collected by the national campaign for refunding debtors' loans. Lawyer Reem Al-Baghdadi, representing the aggrieved citizen, requested detailed information on debt repayment records, the disbursement process, and the list of beneficiaries. She explained that her client was extremely surprised to be excluded from the current debtors' campaign beneficiary list, despite not having applied for any previous campaigns. An investigation revealed that the committee overseeing one of the previous campaigns had paid the government a fee of KD 10 owed by the citizen, based on a request from the Ministry of Justice. Her client was unaware of this payment and that his name had been included in the previous campaign's beneficiary list without his knowledge. Despite being able to pay the KD 10 fee himself, he applied to register in the latest campaign due to a large debt he could not afford to repay. Lawyer Al-Baghdadi emphasized that the purpose of this lawsuit is to clarify the mechanisms of the debtors' campaigns, ensuring transparency and fairness so that aid reaches those truly entitled to it based on clear and just criteria.
