Strengths and opportunities:
- Kuwait home to lots of oil
- Many government officials and contractors needing to visit Iraq traveling there via Kuwait
- Ready supply of cheap labor

Weaknesses and threats:
- Competition from Jazeera Airways, Emirates and others
- Government ownership limits operating flexibility
- Iraq destroyed its entire fleet in the 1990s; burdened with heavy debt ever since
- Civil strife in nearby Iraq; Iran isn't exactly an ideal neighbor either in terms of its ability to generate air traffic demand
