Offers more convenient travel options across Jazeera Airways’ growing network
Kuwait, 25 September 2026 – Jazeera Airways announced that transfer and transit services through Jazeera Terminal 5 (T5) at Kuwait International Airport will resume from 1st October 2026 during a trade and customer briefing held earlier today. The restoration of this service offers passengers convenient onward connections across Jazeera’s network of more than 45 current destinations. Passengers can proceed to book their connecting journeys starting today.
The resumption marks an important step in strengthening Jazeera Airways’ network connectivity, enabling passengers travelling on eligible connecting itineraries to transit through Kuwait and continue seamlessly to their onward Jazeera Airways destination.
With Kuwait at the heart of its network, Jazeera Airways connects markets across multiple regions through its home base at T5. The return of transfer services significantly expands the range of journey options available to customers, complementing Jazeera Airways’ extensive point-to-point network and supporting the airline’s next phase of growth.
Jazeera Airways currently flies from eight cities in India including – Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. Passengers can benefit from connections across key travel corridors, including between the Indian sub continent and Saudi Arabia or Levant, Africa, and GCC, as well as Jazeera Airways’ wider regional network.
As Jazeera Airways continues to expand into new and high-demand markets, such as Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Aswan, Egypt and Najaf, Iraq, passengers will continue to benefit from seamless connectivity.
Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer, Jazeera Airways, said:
“Following the resumption of full operations at T5 in May 2026, we operated under restricted hours and without transfer or transit passenger services. Restarting these services on 1st October through Kuwait is an important milestone for Jazeera Airways as well as our customers. It allows us to bring the strength of our network together, creating more journey options and making it easier for passengers to travel between the markets we serve. Kuwait is our home and sits strategically at the center of our network. As Jazeera Airways enters its next phase of growth, transfer connectivity will continue to play an increasingly important role in expanding the reach of our network, supporting new markets, and strengthening Kuwait’s position as a regional gateway for travel.”
The transfer services also provide greater flexibility for passengers by allowing Jazeera Airways to connect destinations that may not have direct air links, offering convenient and affordable travel through Kuwait.
Customers booking eligible connecting journeys can make a single booking from the Jazeera Airways website or mobile application for their complete Jazeera Airways itinerary and connect through Kuwait International Airport.
Passengers are encouraged to ensure that their contact information, including their mobile number and email address, is up to date in their booking so they can receive the latest information relating to their journey.
