Jazeera Airways to restart direct flights to Damascus
Kuwaiti low-cost airline Jazeera Airways is all set to resume direct flights to Syrian capital Damascus from Kuwait city. This comes in response to a strong demand from the large 200,000-strong Syrian expatriate community in Kuwait - one of the largest Middle Eastern communities in the country - as well as increasing interest in re-establishing business, cultural, and familial ties between the two nations, said Jazeera in a statement. Regional carriers across the GCC have already re-established air links with Syria, and Jazeera will also commence flying once it receives the regulatory clearance. The Kuwaiti budget carrier had previously operated flights to Damascus, Aleppo, and Deir Ez Zoor, and is now well positioned to restore this vital connectivity. Announcing this, Chairman Marwan Boodai said: "We are excited to start operating to Syria after a 12-year hiatus. Restoring direct flights to Damascus will provide a critical bridge for thousands of Syrians living and working in Kuwait, while also supporting broader regional efforts to re-engage with Syria." "In line with the wider momentum across the region, we are completely set up and ready to start flying as soon as we receive the required regulatory approvals," he stated. Several GCC nations, including Qatar, UAE and others in the Middle East region such as Jordan and Turkey have already resumed or announced their intentions to resume air connectivity with Syria, recognizing the growing need for regional integration and the normalisation of civil aviation ties, he added. Jazeera Airways said it remains committed to upholding the highest operational and safety standards in line with international aviation protocols.

Starting July 1: WhatsApp Business Rolls Out Major Pricing Changes
In a significant move for businesses worldwide, WhatsApp Business has announced a revamped pricing model for its WhatsApp Business Platform, set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The update introduces per-message billing, revised rates, and volume-based discounts for utility and authentication messages—aligning the platform with industry-standard practices seen on other messaging channels. WhatsApp will now charge businesses per template message sent, rather than relying on broader session-based models. This means that if a company sends a single marketing and one utility message, they'll incur separate charges for each message type. 'This update aligns our pricing structure with other leading communication platforms that already operate on a per-message basis,' said a WhatsApp spokesperson. Businesses can still respond to customer inquiries for free within a designated 24-hour customer service window, which resets every time a user sends a new message. During this period, companies can send both free-form and utility messages at no cost. 'This gives businesses more flexibility and choice when responding to customers, without worrying about added fees,' WhatsApp noted in its update. To support growth, WhatsApp Business will roll out market-specific volume tiers for utility and authentication messages. As businesses scale up, they'll automatically benefit from reduced pricing in higher tiers. 'The more messages you send, the more you save,' WhatsApp stated. 'Volume-based pricing makes the platform more cost-effective for growing businesses.' These volume tiers are category-specific and market-based. For instance, a business sending utility messages in Brazil would qualify for a separate pricing tier than one sending authentication messages in India. Predictable billing with per-message pricing No cost for responses within the customer service window Lower rates at higher volumes, incentivising platform growth Alignment with global communication pricing standards This pricing update signals WhatsApp's continued commitment to supporting business communication while ensuring cost-efficiency and scalability. Companies leveraging the WhatsApp Business Platform should review the new pricing structure closely to optimise their messaging strategies before the July 1 rollout.
