Jazeera Airways, Kuwait’s low-cost carrier, is resuming daily flights between Kuwait and Riyadh after recent disruption to operations at King Khalid International Airport, the airline said in a statement carried by Times Kuwait on Saturday.
The airline told customers that its Kuwait-Riyadh flights resume on November 1.
Jazeera said the restart followed coordination with aviation authorities and an assessment of operating conditions.
“The resumption of our daily flights to Riyadh highlights our continued focus on restoring vital connectivity with Saudi Arabia, while maintaining the highest standards of operational safety,” said Barathan Pasupathi, chief executive officer of Jazeera Airways.
The airline said Saudi Arabia is an important market, citing business, family and tourism ties between the two countries.
Jazeera said on October 11 that its Riyadh flights had been affected by the temporary suspension of operations at King Khalid International Airport by Saudi authorities.
Other carriers have also cut Saudi services. Flydubai said on October 30 that it had cancelled all flights to Riyadh, Dammam and Abha through November 1, and Air India and Air India Express have extended their suspension of Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam flights to November 14.
