Jazeera Airways flies 500,000 people in first year

Kuwait City: Kuwait’s first private low-fare airline Jazeera Airways marked its first anniversary Saturday by saying it flew more than half a million passengers in its first 12 months.
Chairman and chief executive Marwan Boodai told reporters after a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al Ahmad Al Sabah that the airline now plans to boost both destinations and flights.
The company currently operates four Airbus A320s, and will take delivery of another aircraft by mid-January and a sixth before the end of 2007, Boodai said. Four more will be delivered by 2010.
The airline now flies to 13 destinations in India, Iran, Egypt, Jordan and Syria, in addition to Lebanon, Bahrain and Dubai. Boodai said it has also secured an agreement in principle to operate to Saudi Arabia.
