Jazeera Airways Happily Profitable in Kuwait
True low cost carriers in the Middle East are few and far between, but the Kuwait-based Jazeera Airways has been a proper budget carrier since it started operations in October 2005. The funny thing is that despite having cheap fares, the people's oracle reports that it made a $8.7 million profit during 2006--not bad for its first full year.
Jazeera has Kuwait as its main hub but also serves Dubai and Queen Aliah (Jordan) airports extensively. Flights head all around the Middle East and further afield, including destinations in Lebanon, Iran and Morocco.
This week's big promotion is Happy Hour, when tickets are cheaper at certain times; the specials are on seven hours a day, which is quite a happy hour in our book. The Happy Hour wraps November 29, so you'll have to log in fast if you want to nab an especially cheap flight around the Middle East.
