Jazeera Airways is a low-cost airline based in Kuwait that has served Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi. Its India flights were disrupted by regional conflict in early 2026 and restored in stages, so schedules and routings have changed this year. Check the airline’s website for the exact route and airport on your travel date.

Jazeera is a popular option for people travelling between India and Kuwait, but 2026 has been an unusual year for its network. Here is what we could confirm and what you should check yourself.
Which Indian cities does Jazeera Airways fly to?
The airline resumed India flights around 20 March 2026, starting with six cities (Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Kochi). By 23 March it reported eight, adding Ahmedabad and Thiruvananthapuram. Later reports said the network was expanded further in April 2026 with additional southern cities, and some routes were reported suspended until mid-May.
We could not find an official timetable dated after mid-2026, so treat any city list as a snapshot. Search your exact departure city and date on the airline’s site to see what is on sale now.
Why did Jazeera’s India routing change in 2026?
Following a regional conflict that closed air operations in Kuwait, the airline restarted its India services in March through Qaisumah Airport in Saudi Arabia, with passengers continuing to Kuwait by road. Reports in the following weeks described the airline restoring its full operation from Kuwait itself.
We could not confirm the routing in force for every date now. If your ticket shows an airport other than Kuwait International, read the notes in your booking and plan your onward transfer before the day of travel.
Is Kuwait the airline’s hub?
Yes. Jazeera is based in Kuwait, and its flights are built around Kuwait City. Passengers going beyond Kuwait connect there, and the airline has also described connections to destinations such as Dubai on its own network.
For a traveller from India, that means a flight to Kuwait is the simple case, while onward travel to a third country usually involves a change of aircraft in Kuwait. Compare the total journey and check whether your bags are checked through.
What should you check on baggage and fares?
Low-cost airlines often price the seat separately from extras such as baggage, seat selection and other add-ons. We could not verify Jazeera’s current baggage allowance or fare structure from its own pages, so do not assume what a fare includes. The allowance for your ticket is shown during booking and on your confirmation.
A good habit is to compare the final price including everything you need, rather than the headline fare alone. Fares that look low can rise once you add a checked bag.
What entry rules apply when flying to Kuwait?
Entry rules for Indian passport holders can change, and they differ between visitors, residents and workers. Check the official Kuwait government channels and the airline’s travel alerts page before you buy. Make sure your passport validity and any required visa or residence document are in order, because airlines can refuse boarding if documents are not right.
How can you plan around schedule changes?
When a network is being rebuilt, schedules can move. Book directly with the airline or through a seller that shows the airline’s own flight details, and save your booking reference. Check your flight status a day before you leave and again before you head to the airport.
If you are travelling for a fixed event such as a wedding, a job start or a hospital visit, build in a spare day. A single daily flight on a route can leave you with few alternatives if it changes.
- Keep your passport, visa or residence document and ticket details together.
- Reach the airport early, since international check-in desks usually close well before departure.
- Save the airline’s contact details in case your flight changes.
It also helps to read the airline’s travel alerts page before you book. Airlines usually post operational notices there, including changes to airports, terminals and schedules, and these can matter more than the fare itself.
Finally, if you have a connecting ticket on another airline after Kuwait, leave a long gap between the two flights and check whether the bags are checked through. A missed connection on separate tickets is usually your own cost to fix.
Common Questions
Is Jazeera Airways based in Kuwait?
Yes. It is a Kuwait-based low-cost airline, and Kuwait is the hub for its India flights.
Which Indian cities has Jazeera served in 2026?
Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Kochi were on the first restored list in March, Ahmedabad and Thiruvananthapuram followed within days, and more cities were announced in April. Confirm the current list on its website.
Do all Jazeera flights from India land in Kuwait City?
Not necessarily. After the March restart some flights used Qaisumah in Saudi Arabia, and later reports described a return to full operations from Kuwait. Check the airport shown on your ticket.
Is baggage included in the fare?
We could not verify the current rules, so read the allowance shown for your fare at booking. Do not assume it is included on a low-cost fare.
Do I pay to check in?
No Indian airline charges for web check-in or airport check-in. Jazeera is a foreign airline, so read the check-in terms on your ticket for any fees.
Should I book a flexible fare?
Given the year’s disruptions, it is sensible to check change and refund terms before you pay, and to keep your plans flexible if you can.
