New Dubai routes in Jazeera’s multiple-hub strategy

Kuwait-based Jazeera Airways has established a second hub in Dubai in line with a multiple-hub regional strategy, said its chairman and CEO Marwan Boodai.
This makes it the only low-fares airline to operate out of the emirate, he said.
The development was accompanied by a two-day launch offer of one million seats at Dh48 each one-way, exclusive of taxes, to all of the airline's destinations.
Jazeera began thrice-weekly services to Bahrain from Dubai on February 8, and will launch non-stop services to six other destinations: Kuwait, Mumbai, Kochi, New Delhi, Muscat, and Salalah.
“Traffic on the Kuwait-Dubai route grew 15 per cent in 2006," Boodai said. "To Amman, traffic grew 28 per cent, and the Jordanian authorities are so happy, they have offered us the flexibility to fly freely to Amman without restrictions."
Other destinations also increased similarly: from Kuwait to Bahrain by 22 per cent, to Damascus 65 per cent, Mumbai 29 per cent, and New Delhi 16 per cent.
