Kuwait, September 18, 2022: Jazeera Airways today announced its first route to China with the launch of direct flights to Xian, Western China’s third largest city with a population of over 12 million people and the most populous city in Northwest China.

The airline will be operating the new route starting September 19, initially with a flight every fortnight, moving to a weekly service in the near future. Flights will include a technical stop in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan for refueling, using an A320neo aircraft.

Jazeera Airways Chief Executive Officer, Rohit Ramachandran, said: “This a real milestone for Jazeera to be flying all the way to the People’s Republic of China.
