On March 11, total of 145 passengers were safely transported in a convoy of four buses from Kuwait to Qaisumah to board the outbound flight to Cairo. The initiative forms part of Jazeera Airways’ efforts to support passenger mobility and ensure continuity of travel while operations from Kuwait International Airport remain temporarily suspended for safety reasons.

Jazeera Airways is also facilitating the return of passengers from Cairo to Kuwait through the same route.

The airline plans to gradually increase frequencies and expand the number of destinations served from Qaisumah, with additional flights to Egypt and Jordan being served while other flights to Turkey, India and other cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expected to be added soon.

Commenting on the development Barathan Pasupathi, CEO, Jazeera Airways, who is on the ground at Qaisumah Airport said, “We are pleased to be able to facilitate a safe movement for passengers in the current circumstances. There is naturally a strong demand from passengers looking to travel and return home to Kuwait or back home and we are doing our best to accommodate as many as possible within the number of seats we have on offer at the moment. (….)”

Passengers wishing to travel are encouraged to book their journeys through the Jazeera Airways website or mobile app. The Jazeera Airways call center is also available at 177 within Kuwait or +965 2205 4944 internationally, however waiting times may be longer than usual due to the high volume of calls.
