Jazeera Airways launches slimmed down website
Jazeera Airways announced the launch of jazeeraairways.com Lite, a ‘slimmed down’ version of the airline’s website, in response to a slow down of internet connectivity in the Middle East. More than 60% of the carrier’s customers book online. The carrier has optimised its website for extremely fast loading times, to overcome the problem of reduced speeds.

In late Jan-08, three submarine cables were severed, causing slowdowns in internet connectivity speeds across the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain Pakistan and India all affected. The problems are expected to continue for up to 15 days.

The ‘Lite’ version of jazeeraairways.com, which is only 16 kilobytes in size, loads in less than 4 seconds, even on “very slow” connections. As soon as connectivity speeds are returned to normal, the regular version of jazeeraairways.com, will be back online
