Jazeera Airways is an IATA-member airli

ne and operates one of the youngest Airbus A320 fleets across the Middle East and North Africa. Airlines are generally prone to last minute abandoned sales. This deal will reduce the ch ances of this happening because if a customer doesnt have a bank account or is unable t o pay using a debit or credit card, they can use this payment option, said Martin Walden strom, CEO, cashU. Research conducted by cashU shows that the most popular and convenient way of toppin g up larger amounts of money for online accounts is through exchange houses such as U AE Exchange. As a result travelers can now top up their accounts with up to USD1,000. T his is an added benefit as the user will be charged less on larger top up accounts. Both Jazeera Airways and cashU will enjoy extensive exposure through this deal, not onl y among their existing customers but also potential ones. Having cashU integrated as a p ayment method will provide users with access to a whole new category, in which they ca n use their accounts to make safe and secure online transactions. This indicates the impo rtance of having a pre-paid online payment option besides the traditional methods availa ble, added Waldenstrom.
