Jazeera Airways to Heathrow

Middle East low-cost carrier (LCC) to fly into London.

Friday 18 June will see Jazeera Airways, a Kuwait-based LCC, arrive at Heathrow, making it the first LCC from the region to operate direct flights from the airport.

The airline has scheduled direct flights weekly on a Friday and plans to increase their frequency as travel restrictions ease.

Commenting on the new service Rohit Ramachandran, Chief Executive Officer, Jazeera Airways, said: “Our new service to Heathrow Airport enables Jazeera Airways to cater to popular demand for flights to and from London, including demand from business travellers, Kuwaiti students and the large segment of accustomed tourists who we believe are more than eager to return to London this summer, many of whom own homes in the area."

“As the vaccinations against the Covid-19 virus roll out in Kuwait and across the world, countries are opening their borders for a gradual return of summer traffic. Jazeera Airways’ pilots and cabin crew have already been fully vaccinated, and we continue to mandate strict safety measures in all our facilities. Our customers can rest assured that they will be travelling safely to and from London with us.”

Established in April 2004, Jazeera Airways was the first non-government owned airline in the Middle East.  On board, passengers can choose from Premium seats (Rows 1-3) with a 33-inch seat pitch, 30kg baggage allowance and complimentary seat selection. Or select Preferred Seats with 31-inch seat pitch (Rows 4-10) or XL/Extra Legroom Seats (Rows 11-12) with 36-inch seat pitch.

Currently, only fully vaccinated Kuwaitis can travel into and out of Kuwait. A widening of entry permissions to Kuwait, to include all UK originating passengers who have been fully vaccinated, is under consideration.
