Jazeera Airways has announced a major operational expansion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, adding King Fahd International Airport (DMM) as a second base alongside its existing operations at Qaisumah Airport (AQI).
Effective from March 26, 2026, the move is set to significantly boost seat availability and cargo capacity and maintain connectivity for Kuwait City and surrounding communities amid ongoing regional challenges.
Operating from two Saudi airports will allow Jazeera Airways to rapidly scale its network, offering more than 20 destinations, over 1,000 flights, 200,000 seats, and up to 2 million tonnes of cargo capacity through April 30. The expansion is designed to address heightened demand for both passenger travel and supply chain logistics.
The airline has played a critical role in sustaining connectivity for Kuwait by deploying an integrated air-to-land model via Qaisumah, enabling thousands of passengers to continue their journeys despite widespread disruptions.
“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. 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 a key connector between Kuwait and destinations across Egypt, India, Jordan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Türkiye, and the UAE.
All departures and arrivals from both Qaisumah and Dammam will continue to operate through the airline’s temporary terminal at the Kuwait International Fairgrounds in Mishref (Hall 8).
