According to Al Rai, a Kuwaiti newspaper, there is “a serious study being conducted to allow women to join the Kuwaiti air force,” after only seven men applied for the position, far below the requisite minimum.
“There is now a serious tendency to benefit from the potential of Kuwaiti women to join this significant and sensitive sector, especially that the political leaders have been encouraging young men and women to become members of the army,” a military source told the paper.
