Payment has become a key strategic topic for airlines and other travel companies on their way. to becoming retailers. In fact, the topic of  payment is closely linked to customer experience and confidence as well as to airline retailing. Payment costs for airlines and travel suppliers have grown substantially, as have digital payment options and customer expectations.

Germany has been the exception with payments via direct debit from bank accounts. Other exceptions now include payment apps such as WeChatPay and AliPay in China, or e-wallets like PayPal in the US or Lydia in France and an increasing number of new digital payment methods.
