Jazeera Airways in the market for more narrow-body jets to capture European traffic
Kuwait's Jazeera Airways is considering the acquisition of additional narrow-body aircraft to caplitalise on "opportunistic growth' and fill a void in direct flights between Kuwait and Europe after 14 European carriers pulled out of Kuwait International Airport in the past few months, its chief executive said. The low-cost carrier is also looking towards closer co-operation with the national flag carrier Kuwait Airways to enter into a "complementary' partnership – similar to that of Emirates and flydubai – that will help them have an expanded point-to-point network. To spearhead growth, the airline is in talks with lessors for longer-range single-aisle planes such as the Airbus A321 LR and the A321 XLR as it plans for its fleet requirements, Barathan Pasupathi, chief executive, told The National. The all-Airbus operator is also studying Embraer's E2 jets for point-to-point routes with lower density traffic. "We are in the market for more narrow-body aircraft,' Mr Pasupathi said. "Sustained growth will come from the aircraft order book. Opportunistic growth will come from aircraft that we will take opportunistically into our fleet and hub when the right time comes.' Jazeera is already in talks with number of lessors who have approached the airline but Mr Pasupathi ruled out interest in widebody jets "for the time being', to keep a check on costs. While the availability of aircraft in the market is limited, lessors are offering their customers aircraft that have been declined by airlines which are experiencing a tapering off in travel demand. "We are now seeing appetite in the market for lessors knocking on doors of airlines who can absorb their capacity,' he said. Summer of 2026: A 'different ballgame' Jazeera Airways sees "opportunistic growth' potential for direct flights between Kuwait and Europe after 14 European carriers pulled out of Kuwait International Airport over the last few months. The airlines halted flights amid shortcomings in airport infrastructure and weak demand. Most recently, IAG-owned British Airways ended its London-Kuwait route in March after six decades of service as it did not expect to have enough aircraft to operate the flights. Jazeera Airways has a " game plan' to build point-to-point connections, particularly in Europe to fill the gap, and is launching services to several European destinations this summer, Mr Pasupathi said. On June 5, it started twice-weekly flights between Kuwait and Hungarian capital Budapest, marking the first non-stop service between the two countries. Asked when the airline will need to acquire additional narrow-body aircraft to meet demand, Mr Pasupathi said: "Summer of 2026 is going to be a different ballgame, if you look at the lack of European carriers in Kuwait.' "We're being approached by a lot of airports to go into Europe. There has to be a tangible return. We are studying a lot of business cases, plans, airports.' There is a "deep interest' from airports approaching Jazeera Airways thanks to Kuwait's "yield-accretive' market, well-travelled Kuwaiti population and high-spending international travellers, he said, declining to name the airports. Travel demand is also growing amid easing visa and work permit issuances in Kuwait, while intra-Gulf traffic is rising and Gulf-Europe traffic will grow when Kuwaiti citizens get visa-free access to the Schengen region, he said. Growth elsewhere Jazeera Airways is making significant inroads into Central Asia, from where it is flying pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for Hajj and the year-round Umrah. Going in the other direction, there is also outbound tourism demand from Kuwait to visit these countries, he said. Travel demand growth in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq, Iran and Central Asia is "giving us tremendous confidence that there will be opportunistic windows to pursue and we're watching this space very carefully,' he added. "We are pleased that markets that are opening up will require aircraft capacity in point-to-point [traffic]. We also see opportunities in fifth and sixth freedom growth in some markets,' Mr Pasupathi said. Fifth freedom rights allow an airline to fly between foreign countries as a part of services to and from its home country. The so-called sixth-freedom right allows an airline to carry passengers or cargo from a second country to a third country, provided it touches down in its home country. Aircraft deliveries The airline is awaiting the arrival of 26 new aircraft – 18 A320 Neos and eight A321 Neos – that it had ordered at the Dubai Airshow in 2021. It will start taking delivery of the first A320 Neos on schedule by the end of 2026, while the A321 Neos will be handed over from 2027 onwards, both through to the end of 2030. In December, Jazeera Airways announced plans to buy six Airbus A320 classic variant planes that it currently leases and operates, in an effort to mitigate the supply chain challenges plaguing the industry. "This will give us good, sustained growth between 2024 to 2030,' Mr Pasupathi said. "However, we are very positive that we may need to grow beyond this.' 'Complementary' partnership with Kuwait Airways There is also a "tremendous' opportunity for Jazeera Airways and flag carrier Kuwait Airways to enter into a "complementary' partnership similar to that of Emirates and flydubai, he said. "From an aviation hub strategy, that excited us … we would have like to have it yesterday.' Further backing its growth ambitions, Jazeera Airways will expand Terminal 5, its terminal in Kuwait International Airport. Plans are in place to increase its capacity to 7.5 million passengers, up from five million now, to cater for anticipated growth over the next two-to-three years. "We are getting the approvals shortly,' he said. Looking ahead, the airline is "buoyed' by strong market growth, lower fuel prices and new top management executives that will shape the airline's network and commercial planning, he said. In May, the airline said it hired Paul Carroll as chief commercial officer. The former chief commercial officer of the AirAsia Group brings more than 20 years of aviation experience.

Afreximbank downgrade dispute raises questions on loan categorisation
African Union's African Peer Review Mechanism has challenged Fitch Ratings' downgrade of the African Export‑Import Bank, arguing the move rests on a misinterpretation of its sovereign loan portfolio. On 4 June, Fitch lowered Afreximbank's long‑term foreign‑currency issuer rating from BBB to BBB‑—a notch above junk—with a negative outlook. The agency attributed the downgrade to elevated credit risk, citing an estimated non‑performing loan ratio of 7.1 %, primarily due to sovereign exposures to Ghana, South Sudan and Zambia classified as NPLs. The APRM asserts that Fitch's classification is flawed and inconsistent with Afreximbank's own disclosure of an NPL ratio of 2.44 % as of end‑March. The AU‑established body emphasises the bank's status as a multilateral lender created under a 1993 treaty, which binds member governments—including Ghana and Zambia—as signatories, shareholders and founding members. APRM contends such loans are grounded in intergovernmental cooperation rather than standard commercial terms, so treating them as NPLs misrepresents their nature. Fitch defended its methodology, stating that its supranational rating decisions adhere to globally consistent and publicly available criteria, and highlighting that their analysis clearly identified rating drivers and sensitivities. The agency maintains sovereign exposures showing delayed repayments meet its threshold for classification as non‑performing, irrespective of legal structures or treaties. In that sense, the downgrade aligns with accepted analytical standards. ADVERTISEMENT APRM's critique zeroes in on that threshold. It argues that sovereign repayment negotiations are routine diplomatic engagements, not signs of default. It remains concerned that Fitch's decision conflates financial dialogue with credit impairment. The body has formally called on Fitch, Afreximbank and other African institutions to convene technical consultations and reassess the rating, emphasising the importance of contextually intelligent credit assessments. Beyond the immediate dispute, this episode resonates with a broader continental debate over the relevance and fairness of global credit‑rating frameworks applied to African multilaterals. Africa's longstanding concerns that Western rating methodologies fail to grasp local realities and may unfairly inflate borrowing costs have sparked momentum for alternative mechanisms. Among these, an Africa‑led credit‑rating agency is under development, envisaged to begin operations by September 2025, aimed at providing sovereign ratings that reflect regional economic and institutional contexts. Central to the debate is Afreximbank's evolving lending strategy. Under outgoing president Benedict Okey Oramah, the Cairo‑based lender has aggressively expanded its footprint, increasingly financing private sector projects across the continent and taking calculated sovereign exposure. Supporting growth in under‑served markets like Zimbabwe and Nigeria, the bank grew its asset base from around US$7 billion in 2015 to approximately US$40 billion in 2024, with deposits rising to US$37 billion. That growth has attracted scrutiny. Fitch has highlighted what it sees as elevated concentration of corporate and sovereign risk, pointing to an NPL ratio that exceeds its internal threshold. Observers note that up to 92 % of Afreximbank's lending is directed at commercial businesses, and certain sovereign loans carry interest rates as high as 6.875 % over benchmark rates—much higher than traditional development finance institutions. Proponents of the APRM's position, including lead credit‑ratings expert Misheck Mutize, argue that supplementary indicators such as capital adequacy, collateral density and profitability should carry mitigating weight. Mutize points to a strong equity ratio of 19 %, risk‑weighted capital at 21 %, internal capital generation through profits, and loan collateral cover for 84 % of the portfolio. These factors, he suggests, are downplayed in the rating downgrade despite being explicitly acknowledged in Fitch's own analytic framework. He warns that over‑reliance on contested NPL figures can breach the methodology's balance principles. ADVERTISEMENT Not everyone supports APRM's framing. Analysts note that countries like Zambia officially halted repayments to Afreximbank in 2021, and South Sudan failed to honour its obligations, prompting legal recourse in London. Zambia's treasury has openly stated its debt will be restructured. Against this backdrop, Fitch's interpretation that certain sovereign debt has become non‑performing appears defensible under global standards. This dispute underscores a tension: Afreximbank's assertive growth strategy has boosted its developmental reach and institutional clout, yet it must reconcile that dynamism with risk and transparency expectations imposed by global credit agencies. With Oramah set to step down later this month, the new president will face a pivotal choice: maintain aggressive expansion as the bank charts an independent path, or recalibrate operations to conform more closely with multilateral development bank norms—a course change that could preserve borrowing benefits but limit growth prerogatives. Beyond institutional implications, the outcome has broader financial consequences. A downgrade to BBB‑ tightens Afreximbank's borrowing costs, heightens the risk premium for countries swayed by its lending, and complicates its mission to finance intra‑continental trade. That may squeeze African exporters and traders relying on the bank's funding. Policy stakeholders are paying attention. The APRM's call for dialogue and transparency signals a pushback against the perceived hold of Western agencies over African financial destiny. Meanwhile, the African Development Bank is developing a Continental Financial Stability Mechanism that may borrow under a regional rating—another step towards financial sovereignty.
