CellPoint Digital has announced a new partnership with Riyadh Air, with a plan to equip the carrier with “innovative payment technology to fuel its digital-first business strategy” as it prepares to launch commercial operations in 2025.
Riyadh Air will utilise CellPoint Digital's Payment Orchestration platform, enabling the carrier to process local and cross-border transactions.
""As a disruptor airline prioritising our digital capabilities, we need a payments partner with first-hand, in-depth knowledge of air travel. CellPoint Digital's Payment Orchestration platform enables us to offer travellers a fully digital experience onboard and a smoother booking experience,"" said Adam Boukadida, Riyadh Air's CFO. “Not only that, but CellPoint Digital has been supporting us with its expertise and extensive consultancy services throughout the sales process and our quest to secure international partnerships.”
Kristian Gjerding, CEO at CellPoint Digital, added: ""While legacy airlines can be held back by legacy technology, a next-generation airline like Riyadh Air can start from a more advanced position by using tailored technology that's built for now, not 20 years ago. With our Payment Orchestration solution developed specifically for the unique challenges faced by global airlines, Riyadh Air can offer travellers their preferred payment options while gaining more control over its cash flow and costs.""
