Leveraging the power of eSIM
Through the partnership 1GLOBAL will integrate its consumer eSIM technology into Jazeera Airlines' service offering. The process will begin with the implementation of a Jazeera branded QR code and web-based solution, followed by a full-fledged integration into the Jazeera Airways app. The white label solution allows Jazeera to offer eSIM services while maintaining the airlines own look and feel.
Andrew Ward, Vice President Marketing & Customer Experience at Jazeera Airways, says: "We are delighted to be able to offer the 1GLOBAL service to our passengers. We are always looking for ways to reduce travel costs and the 1GLOBAL eSIM offers low call rates for travellers across the Jazeera network."
A benefit for both the airline and its passengers
The roaming solution will be marketed through various communication channels including social media, in-flight magazines, email confirmations and promotional material in airport terminals. The partnership offers benefits for both travellers and Jazeera Airways. By activating the 1GLOBAL roaming eSIM, travellers will be able to stay connected more cost effectively than if they were using their standard roaming plan. They will also have access to high quality 5G & 4G coverage in almost all countries with plenty of flexible tariff options to choose from. Jazeera Airways on the other hand hopes to increase customer loyalty by providing this value-added service. This initiative not only distinguishes Jazeera Airways from its competitors through innovative offerings, but it also aims to increase revenue through ancillary services.
Yousef Al Qatami, Chief of Staff at 1GLOBAL, emphasises: "We are very proud to have supported the Jazeera Airways team in being the first airline in the MENA region to launch an eSIM offering. We are confident in the region's growth trajectory and hope to bring the benefits of eSIM to more local businesses and customers."
