UATP DELIVERS ONLINE AIRLINE TICKET PURCHASES THROUGH PAYPAL
Northwest Airlines Is the First Connection
UATP is helping to enable PayPal payments for online airline ticket purchases and has successfully launched the first client, Northwest Airlines (NYSE: NWA), on June 28.
“UATP is a great, innovative partner in helping us address the airline industry's need for online payments,” said Tyler Hoffman, senior director of large merchant sales at PayPal. “By offering PayPal to airline sites, we’re once again offering our service where our customers want to shop.”
Making payments by PayPal is easy; consumers can choose PayPal as a payment method and conduct what they see as a normal PayPal transaction. Airlines will process the payment like a UATP transaction through the existing network.
With more than 143 million accounts, PayPal is a global leader in online payment solutions that allows a safe, easy way to pay for items and services online. With PayPal, travelers have flexibility to pay for tickets and can use debit cards, bank accounts, stored balances, or credit cards through their individual PayPal accounts.
