Jazeera Airways (J9, Kuwait) has confirmed an order for twenty-eight A320neo Family aircraft tentatively announced in November 2021.
The deal comprises twenty A320-200Ns and eight A321-200Ns with options for five unspecified aircraft.
"By taking both A320neo and A321neo versions, we will have great flexibility to extend our network to medium and longer-haul destinations from Kuwait, offering passengers more choice to travel and enjoy popular destinations as much as underserved ones," Chief Executive Rohit Ramachandran said.
Contacted for comment, Ramachandran said the delivery timeline is still in the process of being finalised and expressed hope that it may even be expedited. In the initial Memorandum of Understanding, the airline said deliveries would complete by 2026.
The ch-aviation fleets module shows the Kuwaiti low-cost carrier currently operates eight A320-200s and nine A320-200Ns. The airline posted a KWD12.2 million Kuwaiti dinar (USD40.3 million) net profit in 2021.
