Jazeera Airways facilitates booking process with launch of new sales channel

Jazeera Airways, the Middle East's leading regional carrier (KSE: Jazeera, Bloomberg: Jazeera KK, Reuters: JAZK.KW), announced today that it is making booking with Jazeera Airways even easier, with the launch of a new sales channel in Kuwait via the Galileo Global Distribution System (GDS). Jazeera Airways is the first low-cost airline in the country to sign up to the system. Galileo, which has the highest market share in Kuwait with 48 per cent of Kuwait travel agents using the system, now provides Galileo-connected travel agents around the world with access to the airline's inventory, including its flight timetable and online flight prices.

Stefan Pichler, CEO, Jazeera Airways said: "We remain firmly committed to providing Guests with as many channels as possible to book their travel with us, and our agreement with Galileo makes booking flights on Jazeera Airways even more accessible, and an alternative booking option to our website or call centre."

"Pichler went on to say that Jazeera is looking to introduce the GDS into its operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt in due course. Jazeera Airways owns a fleet of 11 Airbus A320s. Each aircraft is fitted with the airline's signature leather seating, while the Jazeera Business Class cabin offers business travellers a little extra convenience including easy booking, special check-in counters, 40 kilograms baggage allowance, access to airport lounges and exclusive in-flight service and entertainment.

The airline flies to destinations in the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, Pakistan and Iran.
