Jazeera Airways, in collaboration with the Embassy of Poland in Kuwait and the Malopolska Tourism Organisation, has celebrated the launch of its first-ever winter flights from Kuwait to Krakow, Poland, aimed at boosting tourism and strengthening ties between the two countries.
The airline will operate twice-weekly direct flights between Kuwait and Krakow from 16 December 2026 to 6 February 2027, offering travellers convenient and affordable options for winter holidays, festive getaways and family trips.
The launch event highlighted Krakow's cultural heritage, winter attractions and growing appeal as a European holiday destination.
One of Poland's oldest cities, Krakow is known for its medieval architecture, festive markets, UNESCO-listed Historic Centre and Wawel Royal Castle.
The city also provides access to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains, popular for skiing, snow-covered landscapes and winter activities.
The event also highlighted Kuwait's growing winter tourism offering, supported by sporting, cultural and entertainment events attracting visitors from across the GCC and beyond.
These include the Gulf Bank Marathon, for which Jazeera Airways serves as Official Airline Partner, the Super Cup and various concerts.
Combined with pleasant winter weather, diverse cuisine and local hospitality, these attractions are helping strengthen Kuwait's position as a regional tourism destination, supporting local businesses and encouraging visitor spending.
The new route is expected to provide greater travel flexibility while enhancing connectivity and promoting tourism exchanges between Kuwait and Poland during the winter season.
Michal Cholewa, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the State of Kuwait said: "The introduction of Jazeera Airways' winter flights to Krakow represents an important step in bringing Poland and Kuwait closer together. Poland offers a wealth of cultural, historical and natural attractions, and Krakow is one of our country's most celebrated destinations. These direct flights will provide an excellent opportunity for travellers from Kuwait to experience Poland's unique winter charm, while encouraging greater tourism, cultural exchange and stronger connections between our two countries. We welcome Jazeera Airways' continued efforts to enhance connectivity and look forward to further strengthening our bilateral relationship."
Addressing guests at the event, Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said: "We are delighted to introduce Krakow to our winter network, offering travellers an exciting new European destination rich in history, culture and festive experiences. With direct and affordable flights from Kuwait, we are making this beautiful Polish city more accessible while expanding travel choices for our customers. As we continue to grow our fleet and network, we look forward to strengthening tourism and connectivity between Kuwait and Poland."
Barathan added: "Our new winter flights to Krakow expand travel choices while strengthening tourism and cultural ties between Kuwait and Poland. Through our partnership with Visit Kuwait, we are also promoting Kuwait's unique attractions to international visitors, supporting our vision of connecting people, driving tourism growth and positioning Kuwait as a vibrant winter destination."
