In an era where airlines face unprecedented payment complexity, traditional payment gateways are no longer enough. With cyber threats targeting aviation more than any other industry and the pressing need to manage multiple payment methods across global markets, airlines require a more sophisticated approach to payment infrastructure.

The Hidden Cost of Traditional Payment Setups

Airlines today aren't just struggling with visible transaction fees. The real burden lies in:

• Managing multiple payment providers across different regions

• Complex PCI-DSS compliance requirements

• High infrastructure costs for maintaining various payment systems

• Revenue loss from sub-optimal authorization rates

• Increased fraud risks and chargeback management

• Technical debt from legacy payment systems

Why Traditional Payment Orchestration Falls Short

While payment orchestration platforms offer some relief, they often act as mere traffic directors - routing payments without addressing the fundamental infrastructure challenges airlines face. Today's aviation industry demands more than just payment routing; it requires a comprehensive payment infrastructure that can:

• Ensure robust security through advanced tokenization

• Provide real-time visibility into payment operations

• Deliver flexible implementation options

• Scale seamlessly across markets

• Reduce technical complexity and maintenance costs
