A German court has ruled that the Kuwaiti national airline can legally refuse to seat and fly Israeli passengers.
The case dates back to 2016, when Kuwait Airways canceled the ticket of an Israeli student who had booked a seat on a flight from Frankfurt to Bangkok after realizing that he held an Israeli passport. Kuwait Airways offered to book him a seat on a different airline, but "Adar M," as the plaintiff was known in court filings, refused the offer and sued for alleged discrimination.
