Kuwait's leading low-cost carrier Jazeera Airways has announced the full resumption of operations from its dedicated Jazeera Terminal 5 (T5) at Kuwait International Airport, with services operating between 6 am and 6 pm starting from tomorrow (May 3).
This follows the partial resumption of direct flights last week after 57 days of airport closure and marks the successful conclusion of the airline's dual-country operations, including its temporary base in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said the airline in a statement.
With all operations now centralised at Terminal 5, Jazeera Airways will operate all flights directly from Kuwait, offering passengers a seamless and efficient travel experience.
Passengers will again benefit from Jazeera's fully integrated Terminal 5 experience, offering enhanced facilities, comfort and convenience, said the statement.
As demand builds ahead of the summer season, Jazeera Airways is well-positioned to meet passenger needs with a strong network of more than 60 destinations, 2 million seats on offer and reliable, value-driven services, it added.
"This is a significant milestone for Jazeera Airways as we resume full operations from our home at Terminal 5. Operating directly from Kuwait across our network enhances connectivity for our passengers, while improving convenience and overall travel experience," remarked its CEO Barathan Pasupathi.
"We extend our sincere appreciation to the Kuwait Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Ministry of Interior, and all government entities for their continued support in enabling our return to full operations," he stated.
"Passengers are required to report to Jazeera Airways Park & Fly at least four hours prior to departure, where transfers will be provided to Terminal 5 for check-in and boarding," he noted.
Through Project Barakah, launched following the temporary closure of Kuwait International Airport, Jazeera Airways maintained connectivity via an integrated land-air corridor via dual bases in Saudi Arabia, including Qaisumah and Dammam, it stated.
During this period, the airline operated over 1,500 flights, facilitated more than 9,000 bus movements, and transported close to 200,000 passengers, supported by over 500 employees and the deployment of 14 aircraft.
"As we consolidate operations back at Terminal 5, we close our temporary operations in Saudi Arabia under Project Barakah with pride and gratitude. We thank the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) for their co-operation, as well as our partners and employees whose resilience made this possible. Most importantly, we thank our passengers for their trust and patience throughout this period," he added.
