Jazeera Airways is a Kuwaiti low-cost carrier founded in 2004 and launched commercial operations in October 2005. It was the first privately owned airline in Kuwait and operates a point-to-point network across the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. The airline is publicly listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange and has grown to become one of the region's prominent budget carriers. It operates its own dedicated Terminal 5 at Kuwait International Airport, which opened in 2009 and was the first privately built and operated airport terminal in the Arab world. Jazeera Airways focuses on providing affordable travel with a straightforward ancillary revenue model typical of low-cost carriers, offering optional add-ons such as checked baggage, seat selection, and in-flight meals.
