About KASCO

According to its own website, KASCO was set up in the early 1980s as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait Airways. It started as a first-class flight kitchen at Kuwait International Airport. Over the years it expanded into airport restaurants and cafeterias, supervision of the First and Business Class lounges (Dasman), VVIP services and food and beverage at the airport transit hotel. It also added Gourmet Catering for banquets and meal plans, hospital catering (from 2003) and the D’light brand.

KASCO’s direct customers are airlines and its own sales channels, and passengers are its end customers. Despite the “cargo and ramp” label often used in job posts, KASCO’s website describes a catering and hospitality business. Its “ramp” work mainly means delivering and loading meal carts onto aircraft, not general baggage or cargo handling. Cargo handling at the airport is done by other companies.

Types of Jobs at KASCO

Commis Cook / Chef de Partie

Cooks prepare hot and cold meals in the flight kitchen to airline specifications, with strict portion and hygiene control.

Executive Chef / Sous Chef

Senior chefs lead menu planning, airline menu presentations and kitchen teams. KASCO has advertised an executive chef role in the past.

Kitchen Helper / Steward

Kitchen helpers wash equipment, prepare ingredients and keep the kitchen clean. This is an entry-level role.

High-Loader / Catering Truck Driver

Drivers operate catering high-loader trucks between the kitchen and aircraft. They need a valid licence and an airside permit.

Waiter and Lounge Staff

These staff serve guests in airport lounges, restaurants and events. KASCO has posted waiter (“جرسون”) openings.

Can Indians and Other Foreign Workers Apply?

Yes, for many roles. Airline catering in Kuwait employs large numbers of expatriate cooks, helpers, loaders and service staff, including many Indians. KASCO’s careers page shows the requirements for each role, and some listings may set nationality conditions. As a Kuwait Airways-linked company, some administrative positions may give priority to Kuwaiti nationals.

If you are selected, the employer applies for your work permit through the Public Authority for Manpower and your residence permit. A job offer is not a visa, so wait for genuine paperwork. KASCO does not need middlemen who charge money. Workers must not pay recruitment fees, and Indian agents must be registered on eMigrate.
