Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said:
“At Jazeera Airways we pride ourselves on being a Kuwaiti flag carrier and are proud to be of service to the country and its people. The retired officers represented by the Association have dedicated many years of their lives to protecting our country and serving our community across the Armed Forces, Police, National Guard, Fire Force and other national institutions. We are pleased to explore ways in which Jazeera can recognize that contribution and provide meaningful benefits to members and their families.”
The meeting explored opportunities to develop travel-related benefits and other initiatives for members of the Association and their families, while establishing a framework for longer-term cooperation between Jazeera Airways and the Association.
