Kuwait's Jazeera Airways partners with TCS for AI-led transformation, better customer experience

Kuwait’s Jazeera Airways partners with TCS to revamp digital platforms with AI-powered customer experience and revenue-boosting tools.

"Together, we are building a future-ready platform that aligns with our growth aspirations, customer-centric strategy, and commitment to operational excellence. – Barathan Pasupathi, CEO, Jazeera Airways"

New Delhi, May 3

IT services major Tata Consultancy Services has partnered with Jazeera Airways, Kuwait's low-cost carrier, to implement a cutting-edge digital ecosystem that supports scale, personalised customer experience, and revenue diversification.

Jazeera Airways serves over 60+ destinations across the Middle East, Central & South Asia, as well as Europe. Since its launch in April 2004, as the first privately owned airline in the Middle East, it has grown to serve over 5 million passengers.

As it completes 20 years of its operations, Jazeera Airways is embarking on the next phase of its growth by reimagining its digital ecosystem.

The company said in its exchange filing that TCS will lead this transformation by modernising the airline's website, native mobile applications, and AI-powered conversational chatbot.

Leveraging its AI-native approach, TCS will deliver the program end-to-end, bringing its capabilities in product management, user experience design, architecture, agile development, integration, testing, and ongoing enhancements to reimagine how passengers interact with the airline at every stage of their journey.

Barathan Pasupathi, Chief Executive Officer, Jazeera Airways, said, "Together, we are building a future-ready platform that aligns with our growth aspirations, customer centric strategy, and commitment to operational excellence."

Through this transformation, TCS will power the airline's efforts to implement a cutting-edge digital foundation that supports scale, personalisation, and revenue diversification, the filing added.

TCS' solutions will feature a set of integrated digital applications designed to deliver faster, more contextual, and connected interactions.

This includes a retail-driven ancillary platform, an intelligent offer engine to drive upsell and cross-sell opportunities, a 'Customer 360° Insights Hub' to enable personalisation at scale and a generative AI-powered digital assistant to support customers across platforms.

The transformation will also introduce a unified multi-currency payment gateway and targeted promotional engine to boost direct bookings. In addition, a tailored group booking platform--an industry- leading capability--will streamline complex bookings and deliver a modern, intuitive user experience.

K Krithivasan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, TCS, said, "By combining our expertise in aviation with our capabilities in agentic AI, engineering practices, and AI-native solutions, TCS will enable the development of intelligent, intuitive, and scalable digital channels for the airlines."

The company further added in the filing that partnership also reaffirms TCS' position as a digital transformation partner of choice in the MEA region, where the IT major has had a strong presence for over three decades.

With operations in nine countries across MEA, TCS serves more than 150 customers regionally, across industries including manufacturing, healthcare, retail, media, BFSI and CPG. TCS has also been recognised as a Top Employer by the Top Employers Institute for eight consecutive years in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa.

Another feather in TCS's cap! 🇮🇳 Proud to see Indian IT giants leading digital transformation in global aviation. Hope this partnership creates more job opportunities for Indian techies in Middle East. The AI-powered chatbot sounds promising - hope it understands Arabic accents well!

Great initiative but I wish TCS would focus equally on improving domestic airline apps. The Air India app still crashes frequently. Global projects are good, but shouldn't neglect home market. That said, the 'Customer 360° Insights Hub' concept could revolutionize travel experience if implemented well.

TCS's Middle East expansion is impressive! With 150+ regional clients, they're truly making India proud. The multi-currency payment gateway will be a game-changer for Indian travelers flying Jazeera. Just hope the AI assistant won't become another frustrating bot like we see in many apps 😅

As someone who frequently flies Jazeera for Kuwait-Delhi route, I'm excited! Their current app is quite basic. If TCS can deliver what they promise, it'll make travel much smoother. The group booking platform will be blessing for large Indian families traveling together 🤞

Interesting development. While AI transformation sounds fancy, hope TCS focuses on core reliability first. Nothing more frustrating than flight booking systems failing during peak travel seasons. The 'intelligent offer engine' better not become too pushy with upsells!

This shows why Indian IT services are world-class! The comprehensive approach covering UX design, agile development, and AI integration is impressive. Maybe after this, TCS can help Indian railways modernize their systems too? 😊 #MakeInIndia #DigitalIndia
