Jazeera Airways, Kuwait’s leading low-cost airline, operating regionally and internationally, today announced that it will launch the airline’s first service to Sharjah on April 2, 2020, marking its third destination in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Jazeera Airways CEO, Rohit Ramachandran, said: “We are very pleased to be operating our first direct service to Sharjah and to be launching this new route following our successful service to Al Ain in December last year.

Sharjah International Airport also connects Kuwaiti students to universities located in the emirate of Ajman as well as the northern emirates. Moreover, Sharjah is home to distinct archaeological sites, historic museums, galleries and heritage houses that provide a rich experience into the local culture and history.
