-       Four flights weekly to the Prince Nayef Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Buraydah

Kuwait, August 4, 2022: Jazeera Airways today announced a new direct service to the Qassim province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, operating four return flights weekly starting August 22 to the Prince Nayef Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in the province’s capital, Buraydah.

The upcoming service follows the success of the previously launched routes to Hail and Abha during the month of July. The airline operates seven routes to Saudi, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Medinah.

Commenting on the expansion, Jazeera Airways Chief Executive Officer, Rohit Ramachandran, said: “Demand for flights to Saudi Arabia has really grown and we’re pleased to offer more choice to the Kingdom for Kuwaiti travellers. The momentum is expected to continue as events and festivals resume in the Kingdom for the cooler months. There are strong ties between Kuwaiti and Saudi families and we now offer a flight for them to connect rather than take to the highway.”

Jazeera is responding strongly to the 2030 Vision that is driving growth in travel to Saudi Arabia. With over 60 flights a week now being offered, Jazeera is the number one airline from Kuwait. Jazeera is also working closely with the Saudi Tourism Authority to support the marketing of their event calendar in the Kuwait market to attract travellers.
