Insofar as monetary compensation... perhaps. But if Kuwait Air wants to keep flying to the United States, they'll need to address a lawsuit against them eventually--and they may well prevail in court.

As far as I understand it, though, the law suit is a US Citizen against the US DOT?
Yes. It's a federal -- not a state -- lawsuit, apparently seeking to compel the DOT to enforce anti-discrimination laws which the plaintiff contends apply to his situation.
