Kuwait's Jazeera Airways has
firmed up an order with Airbus for 28 aircraft, including 20
A320neos and eight A321neos.
The airline signed the Memorandum of
Understanding in November 2021.
“We are pleased to confirm this latest order with
Airbus,” said Rohit Ramachandran, Jazeera Airways Chief Executive
Officer. “By taking both A320neo and A321neo versions we will have
great flexibility to extend our network to medium and longer haul
destinations from Kuwait, offering passengers more choice to
travel and enjoy popular destinations as much as underserved
ones.”

reduction compared to previous generation Airbus aircraft.

customers.
“Jazeera Airways is a long-standing partner of
Airbus and we are delighted to see them grow their all-Airbus

economics and customer comfort for Jazeera Airways to serve its
growing customer base and open new routes competitively. We salute
