Jazeera Airways And Kuwait Airways Operated 27 Flights On First Day

Jazeera Airways on Sunday operated 15 flights to repatriate Kuwaiti citizens at the behest of the Kuwaiti government and civil aviation authorities, while Kuwait Airways operated a total 12 flights to bring overseas nationals back to Kuwait due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) worldwide.

Jazeera Airways has put its fleet of 14 planes at the disposal of the Kuwaiti government to bring in Kuwaiti citizens abroad, along with medical supplies needed by the country under these circumstances.

Kuwait Airways has some 40 flights to run in the first three days of the repatriation period.

The Kuwaiti cabinet had adopted a phased process to bring back Kuwaiti citizens abroad. The plan envisages five phases: the first started today and lasts until Tuesday, covering Kuwaitis who completed medical treatment abroad along with their companions, also tourists or those who were on official assignments.

The second stage (April 23) covers patients who need medical beds and life support equipment. The third one (April 25-May 1) targets students, the fourth (May 3-4) for diplomats and the fifth (May 6-7) for other segments.
