Mumbai: Airlines are focused on innovating their mobile payment offerings to capture anticipated revenue potential, according to the Alternative Payment and Distribution Landscape: Airlines and Alternatives – The Facts whitepaper, launched by WorldPay, a leader in airline settlements and payments.
The whitepaper, based on a research study of 56 global airline carriers – from low cost to traditional – found that mobile payments (payments for transactions made on a mobile device) are now a key area of focus for airlines: 57 per cent of airlines said mobile has the greatest potential to drive revenue over the next two years – equal to credit cards (57 per cent).
The acceptance of mobile payments has already grown to 25 per cent in 2013, an increase from 10 per cent in 2012.
