Kuwait based Jazeera Airways will be launching a weekly flight from its home base to London Heathrow from 18th June.
The airline that owns and operates its own terminal at Kuwait International Airport – Terminal 5 will operate the route on Friday's for the foreseeable future, however, it has plans to increase the service as soon as the current restrictions over COVID end.
The airline says its fares start at just KD 299 return and are available to book now, with the flights being conducted by fully vaccinated crews on Airbus A320neo aircraft.
Chief executive Rohit Ramachandran said: “Our new service to Heathrow enables Jazeera Airways to cater to popular demand for flights to and from London, including demand from business travellers, Kuwaiti students and the large segment of accustomed tourists who we believe are more than eager to return to London this summer, many of whom own homes in the area.
As the vaccinations against the Covid-19 virus roll out in Kuwait and across the world, countries are opening their borders for a gradual return of summer traffic.”
Established in April 2004, Jazeera Airways is the first non-government owned airline in the Middle East, continuing to be one of the few Middle East-based private airlines to this day. The carrier serves up to 30 destinations with a reliable fleet of Airbus A320 and A320neo aircraft – all fitted with signature leather seats and two or three class cabins.
