The Jazeera Airways has turned into the first airline to carry out scheduled commercial flights at the newly built Amman City Airport in Jordan. This important development is expected to promote and increase the connection between the two countries, assist in the development of tourism and provide economic benefits to both Jordan and Kuwait.
Strategic Partnership for Enhanced Connectivity
On December 29, 2025, Jazeera Airways and the Jordan Airport Company (JAC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking the first scheduled commercial flight operations at the new airport. Barathan Pasupathi, CEO of Jazeera Airways, and Eng. Ahmed Azzam, CEO of JAC, were present to formalise the agreement. This partnership is set to provide a seamless travel experience for passengers between Kuwait and Jordan, particularly easing congestion at primary airports while offering more direct access to the heart of Amman.
The new city-based airport is ideally situated to become a hub for business and leisure travellers alike. With Amman City Airport now operational, Jazeera Airways’ frequent flights between Kuwait and Amman will offer faster, more efficient options for visitors, creating a vital air link that will further support the growth of both tourism and trade.
The Role of Jazeera Airways in Jordan’s Aviation Landscape
Jazeera Airways has long been a key player in the region’s aviation industry. Since launching flights to Amman in 2005, the airline has built a reputation for providing affordable, high-quality air travel. Over the years, Jazeera has expanded its services in Jordan, increasing flight frequencies to meet the growing demand between Kuwait and Jordan.
Celebrating 20 years of operations, Jazeera Airways has built a loyal customer base and is now proud to further solidify its commitment to the Jordanian market. By becoming the first airline to operate from Amman City Airport, Jazeera is reinforcing its position as a leading low-cost carrier in the Middle East. Passengers will benefit from a more convenient airport experience with faster access to the city, and Jazeera’s signature T5 airport experience promises a seamless, hassle-free journey.
Enhancing Regional Aviation with New Airport Operations
The opening of Amman City Airport is a significant step for Jordan’s aviation infrastructure. As one of the first carriers to operate from the airport, Jazeera Airways will help to alleviate the pressure on Queen Alia International Airport, Amman’s primary gateway, while providing passengers with more options and greater convenience. The airport, designed to cater to both commercial and leisure travel, aims to reduce congestion at larger hubs and offer a more relaxed, efficient airport experience.
This move aligns with the government’s vision to modernise Jordan’s infrastructure and boost regional tourism. The collaboration between Jazeera Airways and JAC will also open the door for future airlines to operate at the city-based airport, offering more competitive options for passengers and further increasing air traffic. Moreover, the improved accessibility to Amman City Airport is expected to attract more tourists, boosting local tourism revenues and contributing to economic growth.
A Boost for Tourism and Trade
Jordan has long been a popular destination for travellers, with its rich history, stunning landscapes, and cultural heritage. By increasing the frequency of flights from Kuwait to Amman, Jazeera Airways is providing greater accessibility to this beautiful country. The ease of travel, coupled with the reduced journey times and streamlined airport operations, is expected to drive more tourism from Kuwait, a key market for Jordan.
Amman City Airport’s strategic location will also offer a competitive edge to trade between the two nations. The new air services will enhance logistical connectivity, facilitating the movement of goods and services between Jordan and Kuwait, while also supporting regional economic integration.
The Road Ahead for Amman City Airport and Jazeera Airways
The operational launch of Amman City Airport is scheduled for next month, pending the completion of final regulatory and technical arrangements. Jazeera Airways has already committed to expanding its presence in Jordan, with plans for more frequent flights in the future to accommodate growing demand.
This development is a welcome addition to the evolving regional aviation landscape, particularly as countries in the Middle East continue to invest in infrastructure to cater to increasing air traffic. The collaboration between Jazeera Airways and JAC is a powerful demonstration of the potential for innovation and growth in the aviation sector, both for Jordan and the wider region.
As travel restrictions continue to ease and tourism rebounds, the establishment of Amman City Airport as a key hub for regional connectivity is expected to enhance Jordan’s profile as a destination for both business and leisure travellers. By improving air access and streamlining travel, Jazeera Airways is playing a pivotal role in making Jordan an even more attractive destination for visitors from Kuwait and beyond.
Bottom Line
The alliance formed between Jazeera Airways and Amman City Airport denotes the beginning of a new age for air travel in Jordan. This move is going to revolutionize the flying in and out of Jordan by bringing in better access, modernized facilities, and variety of flights. This monumental step will be a win-win for both the aviation and the tourism sectors, as Jordan will keep on consolidating its place among the top destinations in the Middle East.
