Kerala, Kochi 28 January 2017: Jazeera Airways, Kuwait’s leading low cost airline, operating regionally and internationally, celebrated its four weekly flights into Kochi. Together with the Cochin International Airport CEO (CIAL), media representatives and local travel agents from Kochi, Jazeera Airways inaugurated the third Indian destination at an event in the city today.
Following its recent launch into Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, Kochi is the third route in India being offered by Jazeera, launching direct flights into Kuwait from January 18th, and connecting beyond to other destinations across the Middle East.
Flights operate four days a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays departing at 8:55 pm from Kochi and arriving at 12:10 am in Kuwait and from Kuwait, departing at 12:45 pm reaching Kochi at 8:10 pm.
Mr. Rohit Ramachandran, CEO of Jazeera Airways said, “We have been persistent about strengthening our Indian network and today, looking at how Jazeera has successfully launched flights into three new cities, brings us enormous pride.

In addition, we will offer a welcome choice to the VFR (Visiting Friends & Relatives) travellers wanting to connect with their families in both Kerala and Kuwait.”
Mr. VJ Kurian, Managing Director CIAL (COK) said, “All of us at CIAL are honored by what the new operations can achieve for our local as well as international customers. We are eager to witness the dynamic flow of travelers this year, as Kuwait’s Jazeera Airways connects more people to the benefits our state has to offer while enabling new bridges to exciting routes into Kuwait and the Gulf. “
