Kuwait: In a milestone for the Kuwait-based low-cost carrier, Jazeera Airways today announced a new record in its cargo business having successfully carried one million kilograms of cargo in the month of July 2021 alone, its highest ever since the launch of its cargo operations in April of 2020.

The airline has transported fresh meats, fresh fish, fruits and vegetables, medical supplies, pharmaceutical equipment, flowers, courier and garments.

Jazeera made its fleet available for full cargo flights from the beginning of the global pandemic, enabling Kuwait to secure its needs in produce, medical supplies and other commodities.

Jazeera Airways Chief Executive Officer, Rohit Ramachandran, said: “This is a new milestone for Jazeera, and another testament for its resilience and flexibility in adapting to changing fundamentals in the aviation industry. Our team did a phenomenal job at securing the necessary certifications from Kuwait-Directorate General of Civil Aviation and from Airbus, and at operating the cargo flights. We would also like to compliment our cargo partner, World Cargo Solutions, for their great cooperation and support.”

As the vaccination drive rolls out worldwide and countries have started easing restrictions on travel to open way for tourism this summer, Jazeera has launched nine new services since the beginning of the year, in addition to the summer schedule, which comprises high-demand destinations by travelers from Kuwait and the Middle East.

Jazeera pilots and cabin crew have already been fully vaccinated, and strict safety measures are mandated on-board and at Jazeera Terminal 5.
