Mubasher: Jazeera Airways has relaunched flights to six Indian cities from Kuwait via Qaisumah Airport (AQI) in Hafar Al Batin under the Vande Bharat project, according to a press release.
This marks the first travel connection between Kuwait and India since regional airspace closures and the temporary suspension of operations at Kuwait International Airport.
Commenting on the relaunch of flights, Paramita Tripathi, Ambassador of India to Kuwait, noted: “The temporary closure of Kuwait airspace since 28 February 2026 had resulted in many difficulties for our nationals, some of who needed to travel out of Kuwait.”
Tripathi added: “The prompt, proactive, and professional response and action on the part of Jazeera Airways is commendable. I hope that the situation in Kuwait and the region will improve towards normalcy soon and the uncertainty and difficulties being faced by the people, including the Indian community in Kuwait, would come to an end.”
Barathan Pasupathi, CEO of Jazeera Airways, said: “Given the enormous Indian diaspora in Kuwait and thousands of nationals waiting to reunite with their families and loved ones, there was a strong demand to restore connectivity to India.”
Passengers will travel overland from Kuwait to Qaisumah on buses specially assigned for these trips. Then, they will board outbound flights to their destinations.
Jazeera Airways continues to expand its network of destinations accessible from Kuwait. These include Alexandria, Assiut, Cairo, Luxor, Amman, Istanbul, Colombo, and Al Ain.
The airline reinforced its connectivity between Kuwait and Egypt to support essential travel amid local airport closures due to regional tensions.
It was recently announced as the first Kuwaiti airline to launch Deema, Kuwait’s first licensed Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment solution.
