Temporary operations from Saudi Arabia under the "Baraka" project come to an end
Kuwait's Jazeera Airways has announced the full resumption of its flights from Terminal T5 at Kuwait International Airport from today, Sunday 3 May 2026, with a full return to direct flights from Kuwait, connecting travelers to 27 regional and international markets.
In an update on its LinkedIn account, the airline explained that the return of all operations to T5 marks a complete transition from the temporary operating phase to the resumption of direct flights from Kuwait, providing smoother connectivity for departing and arriving travelers.
It added that the airport will operate from 6 am to 6 pm, with travelers still directed to report to Jazeera Airways Park & Fly at least 4 hours before departure, where transport will be provided to T5 to complete check-in and boarding.
The airline noted that the full return comes after 57 days of operational disruption, during which it worked from two bases and operated an integrated air-land corridor through Saudi Arabia under the "Baraka" project.
During this period, Jazeera Airways operated more than 1,500 flights, recorded more than 9,000 bus movements and carried nearly 200,000 passengers, supported by more than 500 employees, as well as operating 14 aircraft under the temporary operating arrangements.
Jazeera Airways stressed that, with operations unified again at T5, it is ending its temporary operations in Saudi Arabia under the "Baraka" project, expressing its appreciation to the government authorities in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, its partners and employees, and travelers for their support and confidence during the exceptional operating period.
This development marks a new phase in the return of Jazeera Airways' operations to normal from its main base at Kuwait International Airport, after a transitional period during which the airline relied on operating flights through Saudi Arabia to maintain Kuwait's air connectivity during the closure.
