Kuwait Airways has upped the number of planes it plans to buy from Airbus (AIR.PA) from 28 to 31, according to the company’s chairman, who estimated the deal’s value at $3 billion at a news conference in Kuwait City.

He stated the order is for nine Airbus A320neos, six Airbus A321neos, three A321neo LRs, four Airbus A330-800neos, seven Airbus A330-900neos, and two Airbus A350-900s.

In November, CEO Ma’an Razoq told Reuters that the airline was looking for planes that could fly longer, nonstop routes so it could grow into Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and North America.
