Jazeera Airways launches flights to Mumbai, Delhi
Kuwaits new budget carrier Jazeera Airways on Monday launched flights to Mumbai and Delhi, planning to increase the number of destinations in the country in the near future.
Jazeera, which is the first private airline in West Asia, is competing with the state-owned Kuwait Airways and has started its initial operations with a quota of 1300 seats each week.
It would be operating three and six flights each week to Delhi and Mumbai respectively, its Chairman and CEO Marwan Boodai told reporters.
The airline, which now has three Airbus A-320s, would add another by this weekend and one more in the next six months, he said, adding that Jazeera had already placed firm orders for ten A-320s with options for another six.
