Jet Airways, the country’s premier international airline, will introduce daily services from Kochi to Kuwait via Abu Dhabi, effective May 16, 2013. The company presently operates double daily flights between Mumbai and Kuwait. The airline will deploy a state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 Next Generation (NG) aircraft on this route.

The new service from the city will complement the airline’s existing daily Gulf operations to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait, Muscat and Sharjah, as well as Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam, from several cities in India. Jet Airways presently operates over 50 flights between India and the Gulf.
