The Kuwait and Dubai based low-fares carrier Jazeera Airways appointed Favourite Holidays as their sales agent in Sri Lanka.

Following its launch in 2005 as the Middle East's first privately owned airline, Jazeera Airways has grown rapidly to become one of the most profitable low-fares carriers in the world.

Director/CEO of Favourite Holidays, Denham Schokman said the company is proud to be at the forefront of creating a market for Jazeera Airways in Sri Lanka.

"Given the extensive route network of the airline and the increasing traffic to the Middle East the timing couldn't have been more perfect for Jazeera to choose Sri Lanka", Schokman said. The airline's current fleet has eight modern Airbus A320 aircraft flying to 27 destinations in the Middle East, North Africa, Iran and India through the two main hubs in Kuwait and Dubai. The airline has ordered 32 additional A320 aircraft and is set to become the largest A320 operator in the Middle East when it takes full delivery in 2014.

All aircraft are fitted with the airline's signature leather seating and its Jazeera Plus (+) cabin configuration, which offer high standards of comfort and inflight amenities to discerning business travellers.
