Jazeera Airways is planning to renew its fleet with 20 Airbus A320neos and eight A321neos under a memorandum of understanding signed with the manufacturer on Tuesday. Allowing for replacement of some of the Kuwait-based carrier’s seven A320-200s and six A320neos, the purchase will double the size of its fleet to 35 when deliveries of the new narrowbodies are complete by 2026.
