This partnership will allow Air Europa to streamline its payment processes and offer a wider array of Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) to its customers.
DALLAS, Feb. 20, 2025 — CellPoint Digital, a leading payment solutions provider for the airline industry, today announced a new collaboration with Air Europa, a SkyTeam Alliance member. This partnership, utilizing CellPoint Digital’s new Payment Orchestration Platform, will provide comprehensive solutions to help Air Europa optimize its global payment processing and expand its range of alternative payment methods (APMs) to better serve its passengers.
Air Europa, a rapidly growing airline with a significant global presence, offers short, medium, and long-haul flights across three continents. Its strategic expansion plans, including increased service frequency to Latin America and the Caribbean from its Madrid hub, necessitate a modern payment approach that prioritizes optimized transaction routing, seamless cross-border payments, and a diverse range of payment options for both international and domestic passengers.
“As Air Europa embarks on its next phase of growth, a robust payment infrastructure is essential,” said Kristian Gjerding, CEO at CellPoint Digital. “Our new Payment Orchestration Platform, with Air Europa as an early adopter, will optimize Air Europa’s payment strategy, increase the number of supported APMs, and expand its acquirer network, providing greater control and transparency over its finances. As the leading provider of payment orchestration in the airline industry, we are uniquely positioned to deliver a hands-off, customized solution, connecting Air Europa with the acquirers and APMs necessary to enhance its growth and passenger experience.”
Air Europa’s Strategy for Sustainable Growth
CellPoint Digital’s Payment Orchestration Platform, complementing Air Europa’s existing system, intelligently routes transactions to maximize acceptance rates, simplifies and centralizes back-end reconciliation, integrates over 160 global APMs, and easily manages multiple PSPs and acquirers. The platform also optimizes pricing, processing, acceptance currency, and geographical location for each processor, improving transaction success rates and reducing per-transaction costs for Air Europa.
Yago Casasnovas, Head of Payments, Fraud Prevention and Distribution, added, “As a disruptive airline aiming for rapid international expansion, we need a payments partner with deep expertise in air travel transactions and payment processes. CellPoint Digital is that partner, and their Payment Orchestration platform allows us to provide travelers with a fully digital onboard experience and a streamlined booking process.”
