Jazeera Airways, Kuwait’s leading low-cost carrier, has announced the acquisition of six Airbus A320 CEO aircraft, transitioning them from leased to owned status. This strategic move aims to reduce unit costs, enhance operational efficiency, and mitigate ongoing supply chain disruptions in the aviation sector. As the airline approaches its 20th anniversary in 2025, this decision underscores its commitment to long-term growth and resilience.
The acquisition aligns with Jazeera’s broader transformation strategy, which includes expanding its route network, upgrading in-flight services, and integrating advanced technologies to elevate the passenger experience. Chairman Marwan Boodai emphasised the importance of balancing leased and owned aircraft to strengthen operational resilience and cost efficiency. He stated, “This acquisition highlights our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and delivering value to customers and shareholders alike.”
Jazeera Airways’ current fleet of 24 aircraft serves over 60 destinations across the Middle East, Central and South Asia, Africa, and Europe. With deliveries from its order of 26 Airbus A320 NEO and A321 NEO aircraft beginning in 2026, the airline is poised to expand its network footprint and optimise costs across key markets. These steps reflect Jazeera’s ambition to remain a competitive and sustainable regional leader.
As it evolves, Jazeera continues to prioritise passenger satisfaction and operational excellence. By owning more of its fleet, the airline is positioning itself for sustained growth in a dynamic aviation landscape while maintaining its reputation for safety and reliability.
