Jazeera Airways, as part of its 20th anniversary celebrations, marked a milestone by becoming the first airline in Kuwait to host a dedicated Aviation Safety Forum.
The
inaugural Kuwait Aviation Safety Forum 2025 (KASF) brought together
national regulators, global aviation manufacturers, international safety organisations,
academia and airlines for a day of dialogue, collaboration and shared learning
on advancing safety excellence in the aviation industry.

Under the theme “Uniting for
Excellence in Aviation Safety,” the forum featured a comprehensive agenda
including keynote addresses, panel discussions and technical sessions on topics
such as safety trends and challenges, mental health and fatigue risk
management, cybersecurity in aviation as well as case studies on operating in
conflict zones.
The discussions underscored the importance
of knowledge-sharing between authorities, airlines, and manufacturers to ensure
a proactive approach to safety.
Speaking at the forum, Barathan Pasupathi,
Chief Executive Officer of Jazeera Airways, said: “Twenty years ago,
Jazeera Airways started as Kuwait’s pioneering low-cost airline — with a bold
dream to connect people, communities and cultures. From those beginnings, we
have into a global connector, linking Kuwait to over 60 destinations across
three continents and serving millions of travelers every year. Yet, our
greatest success is not measured in flights or routes — but in our unwavering
commitment to one value that defines who we are. Safety, is always our first
priority , and a shared responsibility that is the heartbeat of everything we
do.”
The Kuwait Aviation Safety forum will be an annual knowledge exchange platform aimed at keeping flying safe while supporting Kuwait’s aviation growth and contributing to the nation’s Vision 2035 goals of operational excellence and human capital development. -TradeArabia News Service
