Jazeera Airways has launched services between Kuwait and Istanbul via Qaisumah Airport in Hafar Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, as part of continuing efforts to facilitate travel amid current regional circumstances.
Following the temporary suspension of operations at Kuwait International Airport for safety reasons, Jazeera Airways said it is currently the only airline operating services out of Kuwait, according to a press statement on its LinkedIn account.
Passengers are transported by bus between Kuwait and Qaisumah Airport for both departures and arrivals, enabling them to continue their journeys safely. The airline also operates connections to Alexandria, Assiut, Cairo, Luxor and Amman, and said its first Colombo service was fully booked.
Jazeera Airways said it has safely carried more than 6,000 passengers through Qaisumah Airport since launching these operations on 11 March. It will gradually add more frequencies and destinations, including India, the UAE and other markets.
Maintaining Kuwait’s air connectivity during this period remains a priority. The airline said it continues to work closely with Kuwait’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation and operational partners in both countries to ensure safe, coordinated and efficient services.
