Jazeera adds four new routes

Jazeera Airways has launched four new routes from Kuwait and Bahrain, and increased frequencies from Dubai and other points in the airline's network as it continues to grow its network and fleet this morning at the Arabian Travel Market.

The airline also said it will take delivery of two more Airbus A320s this summer take its fleet to ten.

Scheduled to start from June 1 the carrier has added Delhi, Mumbai and Sana’a from Kuwait, as well as connecting Bahrain and Sana’a. According to the carrier the Bahrain to Sana’a service will be the first non-stop flight between the two cities.

The airline will increase its Kuwait to Dubai services by adding an extra two flights per day offering travellers a choice of six flights.

Frequencies from Dubai to Bahrain will also increase from two to three flights daily.

The airline said that because of new regulatory restrictions existing services between Dubai and Delhi, Mumbai, Sana and Salalah, with effect 1st June will now operate with an intermediate stop in Kuwait. The regulatory changes mean that services to Cochin and Khartoum will no longer be available to customers starting from June 1.

Jazeera Airways CEO Andrew Cowen said: “Despite the financial crisis, Jazeera Airways is focused on growing its network and continuing to provide new routes in the region and lower fares. These new routes and increased frequencies follow an increase in demand for lower fares by both leisure and business travellers.

"The Dubai to Kuwait route is great example for this increase in demand for lower fares as businesses now seek to lower their travel expenses without lowering their quality and on-time performance expectations. They have turned to Jazeera Airways for both.”
