Paxport Launches New Payment Solution, Powered By Pax2pay

London, 15th April 2025 – Leveraging over 30 years of travel technology experience, Paxport Group is proud to announce the launch of Air2Pay. This cutting-edge collaboration, enabling airlines to lower the ever-increasing costs associated with card transactions by utilising modern and secure bank transfers, is the latest in a number of new solutions from airline distribution experts, Paxport.

What is Air2pay?

Air2pay allows airlines to reimagine the way they handle travel industry payments and offers a cost-effective, efficient alternative to the often complex and multi-tiered card BINS. With significant unpredictability associated with traditional card payments, Air2pay will provide a transparent, controlled way to drastically reduce processing fees for airlines.

A simplified payment process, integrated into Paxport’s market-leading airline distribution ecosystem, replicates the familiar payment flows without the burden of exorbitant card network fees and complexities.

Dave Robinson, Managing Director at Pax2pay Ltd, said:

“Pax2pay is one of the leading providers in B2B payments for the travel industry and are committed to listening to our clients’ needs. We work closely with our sister company, Paxport, who connect both global and national travel sellers to leading airlines through their sophisticated airline distribution technology. With a growing demand from airlines for a viable alternative to card payments, we’re excited to launch Air2Pay. This new solution offers airlines a secure, cost-effective way to process payments via Open Banking, providing a reliable alternative to cards to support trade sales.”

Simon Taylor, Head of Commercial at Paxport, comments:

“Paxport are committed to re-defining airline distribution standards, and this latest collaboration with Pax2pay is set to do just that. We are leaders in the transformation of global travel distribution, and our mission is to seamlessly connect airlines to travel sellers.
