Lufthansa will trial optile’s open payments solution within its wireless in-flight entertainment platform called BoardConnect.
The solution will require customers to enter their payment data once when booking tickets on the airline’s app and make further payments with the payment method previously selected by them.
optile corporate relations director Jan-Oliver Stuck said: “We at optile are very happy to collaborate with Lufthansa Systems in this pilot project since it will bring connectivity between airlines, their passengers, and external partner services to the next level.
“optile’s expertise in simplified and limitless payment opportunities brings an additional value to Lufthansa Systems’ entertainment services via BoardConnect. This strong collaboration will ultimately lead to personalization and optimisation of both digital and payment experiences for airline customers of Lufthansa Systems and their passengers.”
