The 24/7 sales desk offers reservation services and can carry out booking modifications and changes, as well as provide itinerary print-outs. The sales desk can also receive payments for reservations that are made via theGuest Contact Centre for those customers who prefer to make payments using cash or a KNET debit card, rather than paying with a credit card via the phone.

Stefan Pichler, CEO, Jazeera Airways, said of the benefits to Guests:

"We are pleased to announce our new 24-hour sales desk service in Kuwait Airport. This will provide Guests with a much more efficient and convenient round-the-clock booking service, broadening payment and reservation options and facilitating any modifications and changes to tickets."

The 24/7 opening of the ticket desk at Kuwait Airport follows on from what has been a busy year for the airline: during 2009, Jazeera opened new sales outlets across its network, launched Business Class and added new aircraft to its fleet.

Jazeera Airways currently operates 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 an exclusive in-flight service and entertainment. The airline flies to destinations in the Middle East, North Africa and Iran.
