Continuing its investments to enhance the digital passenger experience, Corendon Airlines has added PayPal—the widely used global digital payment platform—to its payment options in international markets where the service operates.
Continuing its technology investments aimed at making the travel experience easier and more user-friendly starting from the booking stage, Corendon Airlines is strengthening its payment infrastructure with the PayPal integration, offering passengers a new payment alternative for their flight bookings.
Following its launch, PayPal received intense interest in Germany, one of Corendon Airlines’ largest markets. This interest highlighted both PayPal’s widespread adoption in the country and Corendon Airlines’ high passenger volume in Germany.
Within the first nine hours following the integration going live, PayPal became the most preferred payment method among alternative payment options outside of cards. During this period, 50% of all alternative payment transactions were conducted via PayPal.
The technical integration process, carried out in close cooperation between the Corendon Airlines and PayPal teams, was completed within two months. With this new payment option, Corendon Airlines aims to offer passengers in eligible markets greater flexibility in managing their travel budgets. Installment payment options offered by PayPal to eligible customers can also be used where available.
“We Want to Offer Options Suited to Our Passengers’ Budgets and Payment Habits”
Evaluating the new payment integration, Corendon Airlines CFO Erkan Erbay stated: “While continuing to improve the digital passenger experience, we take into account not only the booking process but also our passengers’ payment habits and expectations. PayPal is a widely used payment method in many of our key international markets, especially in Germany, which is one of our strongest markets. Adding PayPal to our payment options is an important step toward offering greater choice and flexibility to our passengers in these markets. In the coming period, we will continue to leverage technology to simplify our passengers’ travel experience and provide reliable, flexible options tailored to their individual budgets and payment habits.”
