Worldline, a global leader in payment services, has announced a strategic partnership with Forthcode, a SaaS platform provider, to introduce cutting-edge in-flight payment solutions using Android POS machines in India.
This collaboration is set to modernise airline operations and enhance the in-flight experience for passengers.
In-flight ancillary revenue is a vital component of airline operations. However, manual processes often hinder efficiency, making digitisation a necessity. The partnership between Worldline and Forthcode addresses this challenge by offering an integrated platform that combines in-flight retail, inventory management, and payment solutions. The solution is hosted on the cloud, providing airlines with the tools to streamline operations, onboard sales, and catering management.
The digitisation of these processes creates a seamless and scalable solution for airlines. With the adoption of reliable POS systems, airlines can generate additional revenue streams while simplifying transactions. The system automates reconciliation and provides travellers with a cashless, hassle-free purchase experience. Using credit cards, passengers can simply tap or dip their cards to make purchases mid-flight, enhancing convenience and accessibility.
Highlighting the significance of this partnership, Worldline’s executive vice president for India, Sheik Mohideen, said, “Our partnership with Forthcode to enhance the in-flight experience demonstrates our commitment to providing a comprehensive omnichannel payment solution. I am confident that this collaboration will lead to smarter and more inclusive payment options that can accelerate business growth.”
Forthcode CEO Ajith Balakumar added, “This partnership with Worldline marks a significant milestone in our journey to drive innovation in the fintech/aviation space. At Forthcode, we believe in the power of technology to transform industries, and by aligning our expertise with Worldline’s leadership in secure payments, we are setting new standards for what’s possible in digital commerce. Together, we are ready to empower airlines worldwide
