Qatar Airways has formed a strategic partnership with leading Kenyan operator Safaricom allowing passengers travelling to various destinations to pay for their air tickets using M-Pesa.
The new service allows passengers who book online or through the reservations office to make their payment through the mobile money service.
Qatar Airways country manager for Kenya Sami Debbiche said the new payment solution has been introduced to give passengers a much more flexible payment method.
“Our passengers want to be able to book tickets 24/7 and instantly access our latest offers,” said Debbiche. “So this solution is both user-friendly and gives passengers greater flexibility. Qatar Airways is committed to continually innovating and improving our products and services like this to enhance the travel experience for our passengers.”
