The carrier started operations in September 1959 (1959-09) serving the Beirut–Kuwait route with a Douglas DC-4 that previously belonged to Australian National Airways.[1] Shortly after those flights began, a second DC-4 was chartered from Starways to boost capacity in the route.[2][3] In March 1960 (1960-03), the airline placed a provisional order for two Argosy aircraft;[4] however, this order never materialised, and the airline ordered three Douglas DC-6Bs instead.[5]
