Low-cost carrier Jazeera Airways has launched a new service from Kuwait to the UK, the first service operated in 55 years.
The Kuwaiti airline used A320neo aircraft for the service which landed at London Gatwick Airport South Terminal.
Jazeera Airways chairman Marwan Boodai said: “We are proud to mark our expansion in 2019 with flights to London, served with our new A320neo aircraft. London Gatwick will be served with four flights a week and frequency will increase to daily flights in December.
"We also continue to expand with flights to new underserved or never served destinations from the Middle East, including destinations in Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, KSA, UAE and more. On behalf of our airline, I take this opportunity to thank the DGCA and our partners in Kuwait and abroad for their continued support.”
