Communications Minister Essa Al-Kandari stated an investigation was launched when news of the incident emerged in July.
"If the reports and pictures are proven true, we will take action against the people involved and we will announce the conclusions to the people of Kuwait," he said at the time.
Following reports that the pilot smoked a cigar in the cockpit, invited Khan to sit on his knee and offered them champagne, Al-Kandari ordered an "immediate recall" of the pilot's license. The initial report found that neither pilot was believed to have consumed any alcohol, but the copilot was demoted for his participation in the incident.
