On-ground facility boost for Jazeera

Jazeera Airways Group inaugurated four new gates equipped with two state-of-the-art bridges at Kuwait International Airport, which are exclusively operated by the airline and will enable the carrier to offer an even better and more efficient customer experience.

The new gates are part of the airline’s investment in on-ground facilities to capitalise on Kuwait’s growing domestic travelling population. The gates, named Gate B1, B2, B3 and B4, lift the capacity at Kuwait International Airport, the country’s only passenger airport, by 30 per cent.

Jazeera Airways Group chairman Marwan Boodai said: “This latest investment in dedicated gates compliments a series of other investments in Jazeera Airways’ value offering in the air, online and now on-ground.”

The airline has invested heavily in boosting its customer offering in recent years, from installing online and self-check-in facilities, to securing a flow of new aircraft deliveries, with three brand new Airbus A320s joining its fleet in the last 12 months alone. The four gates launched on Saturday at Kuwait International Airport are an integral component of the airline’s bolstered customer offering.

Boodai added: “Today, Jazeera Airways passengers are the only passengers in Kuwait who can book with their mobile phone, check-in online or in person using the airport kiosk, board through an exclusive gate and state-of-the-art bridges, and fly on brand-new aircraft.”

Jazeera Airways Group is a Kuwait Stock Exchange-listed company with a fleet of 15 wholly-owned Airbus A320s, through its wholly-owned leasing arm Sahaab Aircraft Leasing. Sahaab has assets placed with Virgin America, SriLankan Airlines, Flynas, TAP Portugal and Jazeera Airways.

It serves 20 popular destinations in the Middle East from Kuwait, comprising high-demand business, leisure, familys and weekend destinations.
