Jazeera Airways Starts Kuwait – Islamabad Flights

KUWAIT: Jazeera Airways, Kuwait’s leading low cost airline has now started direct
flights to Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. The first flight landed on Islamabad airport on
Wednesday, July 13.
By adding Islamabad to its growing list of destinations, Jazeera now flies to three cities
in the country, including Karachi and Lahore.
Islamabad, also known as the ‘Green City’ is a well-planned, structured and
cosmopolitan city; it is also the cleanest and greenest in the country, filled with
interesting tourist attractions. This includes the Faisal Mosque, South Asia’s largest
mosque, Daman-i-Koh, Margalla Zoo, Pakistan Monument, Shakarparian, Lok Virsa
Museum and the Rawal lake view point. The popular hill station Murree is a short drive
away from Islamabad as are Abbottabad and Bhurban.
There are close to 130,000 Pakistani nationals living in Kuwait. By connecting directly
to Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore, Jazeera Airways offers these expats convenient and
affordable flights to visit their home country, the airline said.
Rohit Ramachandran, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said: “Islamabad is
the third city in Pakistan that Jazeera Airways connects with direct flights. While staying
focused on growing our network, we continue to offer more cost effective options for
both tourists and expats from Kuwait to reach different cities. By making travel more
accessible, we hope to encourage tourism to Pakistan while also giving Pakistani
nationals the opportunity to visit their home country more often.”
Jazeera Airways operates a network of 64 cities across the Middle East, Europe,
Central and North Asia as well as Africa.
