Jazeera Airways announces take-off to Qatar

Jazeera Airways is the first low fare carrier to operate non-stop flights between Kuwait and Doha, and will fly six times weekly: every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, early morning and late evening; allowing business travellers to maximize the working day, and offering travellers from Qatar great connections to Damascus, Beirut, Alexandria and Istanbul. Moreover, travellers flying in Jazeera Plus (J+) will be permitted priority lounge access at Doha International Airport.

The new route further strengthens the airline's commitment to the region's travellers by expanding the number of destinations it flies to and by increasing the frequency of its flights.

Jazeera Airways' Chairman and CEO, Marwan Boodai said:

"Doha is one of the Middle East's power-houses in terms of its business and economic activities, with hundreds of Kuwait's business people travelling to the Qatari capital everyday. By offering a high-frequency service with convenient flight timings, in addition to our leather seating, region-leading on time performance and low fares, we are looking forward to welcoming even more business and leisure travellers aboard."

Flights between Kuwait and Doha can be booked from today on jazeeraairways.com.

Jazeera Airways operates a fleet of six brand new Airbus A320 aircraft, one of the world's most fuel-efficient aircraft - each fitted with Jazeera Airways' signature leather seating.

The airline is poised for future growth with the delivery of the remaining Airbus A320s from the airline's firm order at Le Bourget Paris Air Show in 2007. Once all of the aircraft are delivered by 2014, Jazeera Airways will become the largest Airbus A320 operator in the Middle East.
