Kuwait Airways (KU): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
Kuwait Airways is stored in this dataset as IATA code KU and ICAO code KAC, based in Kuwait. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
Kuwait Airways is stored as IATA KU and ICAO KAC, country Kuwait. The converter maps marketing carrier KU to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with KU plus a numeric flight number and a booking class letter. This article is not an airline homepage: schedules, change fees, and loyalty rules are omitted because they are not stored and must not be invented. Peer carriers from Kuwait in this catalog: none stored. Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes KU.
