SATS Ltd. is currently supporting cargo operations for Jazeera Airways, Kuwait’s leading low-cost carrier at its unique dual base at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam (DMM). This comes as Jazeera Airways established alternative air-land connections to Kuwait, following the closure of the Kuwait International Airport amid the regional conflict. These are in Dammam, where SATS operates a 60,000 sqm cargo facility, and Qaisumah–Hafar Al-Batin International Airport (AQI).

Under this initiative, SATS is serving as the cargo handler for Jazeera’s Airbus A320neo aircraft operating from DMM.

The SATS station in DMM began serving Jazeera’s cargo connection to Kuwait on 26 March 2026, managing all air cargo shipments for the airline. These include general cargo and perishables such as frozen meats, fruit and vegetables. These air cargo shipments are transported overland to Kuwait. Damman’s air-land connection complements the airline’s base at AQI, which began operations on 11 March 2026.

Bob Chi, CEO of SATS APAC Gateway Services said: “The SATS team is honored to support Project Baraka, alongside Jazeera Airways, with purpose and pride. Through the movement of passengers and essential cargo such as food, pharmaceutical supplies, and critical spare parts, we hope to help maintain and keep vital air cargo connectivity open into Kuwait during this challenging period.

“As the situation in the Middle East adjusts to a new dynamic, we will leverage SATS’ global network across 27 countries to minimise disruptions to customers. SATS will continue working closely with airline and logistics partners to facilitate the safe handling, storage and onward movement of cargo as routes and schedules evolve.”

Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer, Jazeera Airways said: “In the face of unprecedented operational challenges, Jazeera Airways has moved quickly to establish a cross-border air-land model that keeps Kuwait connected. Our partnership with SATS, a well renowned and world class organization headquartered in Singapore, is a critical part of this effort, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of essential cargo including food items and other vital supplies. Together, we are not only maintaining connectivity, but reinforcing a lifeline for the community and the wider economy during this period.”
