With operations in Qaisumah and Dammam, Kuwaiti carrier to offer 20+ destinations,
1,000+ flights, 200,000 seats and more than 2 million tons of cargo capacity.
KUWAIT: Jazeera Airways as part of its continued operational evolution, today announced that it will
operate from two bases in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, adding King Fahd International
Airport in Dammam (DMM) to its existing operations at Qaisumah Airport (AQI). Effective
from 26 March 2026 at 00:00 hours, the addition of Dammam will further boost seat and
cargo capacity, supporting efforts to keep Kuwait and the communities in Kuwait
connected.
Operating from two airports will enable a significant scale-up of Jazeera Airways’
operations, with more than 20 destinations, 1,000 flights, 200,000 seats and 2 million tons
of cargo capacity offered across its network through 30 April. This will support Kuwait as a
whole, addressing the overwhelming need of the community as well as supply logistics
during the ongoing regional situation.
Jazeera Airways has led an unprecedented effort in building connectivity for Kuwait and its
people, by establishing an integrated air-to-land model via Qaisumah, enabling thousands
of passengers to continue their journeys and stay connected with families and loved ones
and their work despite widespread disruption.

Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said:
“Our priority from day one is to establish the connectivity bridge to keep Kuwait moving
safely and reliably, despite the extraordinary challenges facing the region and Kuwait. By
swiftly expanding our operational footprint in Saudi Arabia to include King Fahd
International Airport in Dammam alongside Qaisumah, we are strengthening this
connectivity bridge, supporting both the movement of people and the flow of essential
goods. This expansion has enabled us to scale up to more than 20 destinations, 1,000
flights, 200,000 seats and 2 million tons of cargo capacity. This reflects both – the resilience
of our operations and the strong ability to serve Kuwait. We are especially thankful for the
ongoing support from the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) and our
partners in the Kingdom for enabling this development. The entire Jazeera family has been
tirelessly working round the clock to keep Kuwait and its community connected and will
always be there especially when it matters the most.”
Jazeera Airways continues to operate as the only airline connecting Kuwait to a growing
network of destinations across Egypt, India, Jordan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Türkiye, and the
UAE, while remaining focused on ensuring safe, reliable, and continuous connectivity as it
adapts its operations in real time to evolving circumstances.
All departure and arrivals for both Qaisuman and Dammam will continue at Jazeera’s
temporary Terminal in Mishref at the Kuwait International Fairgrounds, Hall No. 8.
Bookings for flights from Dammam will open from 18:00 pm on 25 March 2026. To book
