Al Jazeera Airways operates its first flight to Deir ez-Zor

Jazeera Airways, the leading low-cost carrier in Kuwait, launched its first flight to Deir ez-Zor, a move that strengthens its network of destinations in Syria and makes it the only airline offering direct flights between Kuwait and three Syrian cities. The inaugural flight saw strong demand, reflecting the appetite for direct services between Kuwait and Deir ez-Zor. The first passengers were welcomed by Tammam Madani, Chargé d’Affaires of the Syrian Arab Republic Embassy in Kuwait, and Andrew Littledale, Head of Finance at Jazeera Airways. Traditional Syrian coffee and a selection of local delicacies were served during check-in procedures.

Commenting on the occasion, Tammam Madani, Chargé d’Affaires of the Syrian Arab Republic Embassy in Kuwait, said: “The launch of the first direct flight between Kuwait and Deir ez-Zor marks a significant new milestone in the ongoing strengthening of the established ties between Syria and Kuwait. We appreciate Jazeera Airways’ continued commitment to reconnecting our communities and providing greater convenience, ease of travel, and options for passengers through its expanding network of destinations in Syria.”

For his part, Paul Carroll, Head of Commercial at Jazeera Airways, stated: “The launch of our flights to Deir ez-Zor stems from our ongoing commitment to enhancing air connectivity between Kuwait and Syria and responding to our customers’ needs. Since resuming and expanding our operations to Syria, we have witnessed strong and sustained demand for direct flights, particularly from families and diaspora communities traveling between the two countries. As the only airline offering direct flights from Kuwait to Damascus, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor, we provide our customers with broader choices and more convenient travel options, reaffirming our long-term commitment to this important market.”
