Jazeera Airways and Poland Celebrate the Krakow Route

The new service offers travellers options for winter holidays, festive getaways and family trips, the company said. The launch event highlighted Krakow's cultural heritage, winter attractions and growing appeal as a European holiday destination. One of Poland's oldest cities, Krakow is known for its medieval architecture, festive markets, UNESCO-listed Historic Centre and Wawel Royal Castle. The city also provides access to Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains, popular for skiing, snow-covered landscapes and winter activities.

The event also highlighted Kuwait's winter tourism offering, supported by sporting, cultural and entertainment events attracting visitors from across the GCC and beyond. These include the Gulf Bank Marathon, for which Jazeera Airways serves as Official Airline Partner, the Super Cup and various concerts. The company said the new route is expected to provide greater travel flexibility while enhancing connectivity and promoting tourism exchanges between Kuwait and Poland during the winter season.

Michał Cholewa, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the State of Kuwait, said: "The introduction of Jazeera Airways' winter flights to Krakow represents an important step in bringing Poland and Kuwait closer together." Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said: "We are delighted to introduce Krakow to our winter network, offering travellers an exciting new European destination rich in history, culture and festive experiences."
