In support of the 2030 Vision of the Saudi Arabian Kingdom, Jazeera Airlines intends to establish a new low-cost carrier there. At Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport, the new airline will have its headquarters. With companies like Wizz Air and Air Arabia joining in, new bases for Middle Eastern airlines have emerged as a profitable trend.
Jazeera Airlines of Kuwait Will Introduce A New Saudi Low-Cost Carrier
Air connection is essential to the growth and success of Saudi Arabia, the largest nation in the Middle East. The country is currently being rebranded as one that is open to the globe and a significant tourism hub, with the aviation sector at the forefront of this effort. It appears like Jazeera Airlines is planning to open a second base. The airline intends to establish a subsidiary in Dammam with support from Saudi companies, subject to regulatory approval and licences. The low-cost carrier has successfully run all of its operations out of Kuwait International Airport (KWI) up until this point.
When the Saudi arm is ready to fly, the Kuwaiti carrier very certainly will allocate a piece of its Airbus A320 family fleet to it.

Riyadh Air, often known as RIA, the nation’s co-flag carrier, was introduced. This was followed by a rather rational order for the 78 Boeing 787s. Out of 78, 39 787-9s would go to the new airline and the other half will go to Saudia, the current operator.
The two premium carriers with an emphasis on long-haul and attractive markets for travellers. Businesspeople will continue to be RIA and Saudia. Budget airlines like flynas, flyadeal, and Jazeera soon will focus on short-haul routes with dense populations, particularly those in the Middle East, South Asia, and portions of Europe.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, which oversees assets worth around $620 billion and supports key strategic industries for the country’s ambitions for economic diversification, will own all of Riyadh Air.
According to the Saudi Aviation Strategy, the number of locations will increase from 99 to 250 by 2030.
A new flag carrier will soon be soaring across the Saudi skies. This would result in a tripling of annual passenger traffic to 330 million.
