Jazeera Airways has resumed its direct flights from Terminal T5 at Kuwait International Airport to 8 destinations from today, Sunday 26 April 2026, including Cairo, Beirut, Damascus, Istanbul, Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi and Amman via Amman Civil Airport, as part of the gradual return of the airline's operations after the reopening of Kuwaiti airspace.
The airline stressed that the return will be gradual, with some selected flights continuing to operate via Dammam Airport in Saudi Arabia during the transitional phase, according to a press release published on the Jazeera Airways website.
At the same time, Jazeera Airways continues to operate selected flights from the Kuwait International Fairground in Mishref, Hall 8, via Dammam Airport in Saudi Arabia until 2 May 2026, alongside the gradual resumption of direct flights from Kuwait.
Current destinations from Mishref via Dammam include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Alexandria, Sphinx, Assiut, Sohag, Luxor, Dhaka, Chennai, Hyderabad, Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Colombo, Kathmandu and Thiruvananthapuram.
Jazeera Airways CEO Barathan Pasupathi explained that the return to operations from T5 comes after 55 days of airspace closure, stressing that it is more than just a resumption of operations; it is reconnecting Kuwait with the world and bringing travelers home and back together with their loved ones.
During the closure, Jazeera Airways continued operating flights via Al Qaisumah and Dammam airports in Saudi Arabia, relocating more than 500 employees from Kuwait and moving 14 of its 23 aircraft, as well as various operational equipment, to the two airports, according to the airline's press release.
The airline also set up a dedicated departure and arrival hall in the Mishref area to ease travel procedures during the past period, including check-in, baggage handling and land transport services between Kuwait and the Al Qaisumah and Dammam airports.
The airline explained, according to the notice published on the Jazeera Airways website, that these flights via Dammam will continue until 2 May 2026, in parallel with the resumption of direct flights from Kuwait.
