Kuwait-based carrier Jazeera Airways and Airbus have signed an MoU for 20 A320neo and eight A321neo aircraft. Jazeera Airways commenced operations in 2005 and has since emerged as a leading carrier in the Kuwaiti region. It operates regionally and internationally serving the Middle East, Europe and Asia’s top destinations from its home base Kuwait. The Kuwaiti airline supports the country’s 2035 vision for further economic expansion and transformation into a commercial hub.
Marwan Boodai, Chairman Jazeera Airways said, “Jazeera Airways is pleased to extend its long-term relationship with Airbus further with this significant new order. We will effectively double our current fleet size to 35 aircraft by 2026. The airline has pulled out of the pandemic strongly in Q3 with a return to profitability. We have exciting expansion plans ahead, which will further boost our contribution to the Kuwait economy and in particular the travel sector.”
