Kuwait’s two main passenger airlines are Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways, both operating from the country’s primary gateway, Kuwait International Airport (KWI). Kuwait Airways is Kuwait’s flag carrier and is the best-known option for full-service international travel, including regional routes across the Middle East as well as longer-haul services.
Jazeera Airways is Kuwait’s low-cost carrier, focused on point-to-point flying from Kuwait International Airport. It is geared toward short- to medium-haul international trips, particularly around the Middle East, and is a common choice for travelers looking for simpler, no-frills service on regional routes.
