Kuwaiti low-cost carrier, Jazeera Airways, has launched two more routes to India, taking its Indian footprint to eight destinations across the country.

Jazeera Airways has launched two new routes to the cities of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the southern Indian state of Kerala and Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka and the centre of India’s high-tech industry.

According to a press statement by the low-cost airline, the Kuwait-Thiruvananthapuram route will be served on Tuesdays and Sundays, with return flights from Thiruvananthapuram leaving in the early morning of the next days. The Kuwait-Bengaluru route will be served on Thursdays and Sundays, with return flights from Bengaluru leaving in the early morning of the next day.

“We are pleased to be extending our reach into India by the addition of these two new services, catering to the high demand from the expat and business communities in Kuwait and from other connecting GCC countries for flights,” says Jazeera Airways chief executive officer, Rohit Ramachandran.

With the addition of two more destinations, the airline now services eight cities in India, offering onward connections to dozens of cities across Europe, Middle East and Africa. Besides the new routes, Jazeera Airways currently flies to New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
