Issued in 1969, this stamp commemorates Kuwait Airways, the national airline of the State of Kuwait, and features a Boeing 707 in flight. During the 1960s, the Boeing 707 was one of the world's most important jet airliners, symbolizing the rapid growth of international air travel and the modernization of commercial aviation.
