Jazeera Airways connects India to the UK

JAZEERA Airways has connected India to the UK via a Delhi-London international flight service.

The Kuwait airline has also become the first low-cost carrier in the Middle East to start service to the UK after it started a flight service between Kuwait City and London Gatwick last week.


The Delhi-London flights will operate in a three-class configuration, namely, business, economy, and premium economy classes.

For Indian travellers, the company will offer connectivity from Delhi on Saturdays.

The flights will fly via Kuwait to London Gatwick Airport South Terminal.

Return flights are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The carrier will be using the Airbus A320neo aircraft.

The new service to and from Britain will operate four times per week initially, and is expected to start daily services from next month.

Rohit Ramachandran, Chief Executive Officer, Jazeera Airways said: “With our new London route, travellers from our network in the Middle East and India will get more choice and greater value than ever before.”

This route will provide better connectivity options for London-bound travellers from India.

The Middle East-based company presently operates out of five cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Kochi.
