Ctg-Kuwait direct flights from today

Low-cost Kuwaiti airline Jazeera Airways is going to launch direct flights between Chattogram and Kuwait from today.

The airline will initially run three flights per week, offering a chance for Kuwait-bound migrant workers and other passengers to avail direct flights to and from Chattogram after a long gap.

In 2010, Kuwait Airways started direct flights between the port city and Kuwait but it remained operational for a few months, said sources.

The airline would operate the flights on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, said Shamim Ul Islam Joy, sales manager of Jazeera Airways Bangladesh.

Passengers would also be able to travel to Dubai, Jeddah and Dammam from Kuwait on the same day using connecting flights.

This service is the second provided by the airline to Bangladesh following the launch of its Dhaka-Kuwait service in October 2020, serving over 200,000 Bangladeshis living in Kuwait.

The new service would serve the large community of Bangladeshis working in Kuwait and help connect with other Gulf countries with very competitive fares, Joy added.
