Air Niugini adopts online payment portal

Air Niugini in partnership with the BSP Financial Group Limited (BSP) has started a 100 per cent PNG-made online payment solution.
Since 1973, Air Niugini has been making memorable journeys, from the first plane trip experience to reuniting families, holidays, business or back-to-school.
“Convenience and security have revolutionised the way people choose to travel,” Air Niugini’s chief executive officer Bruce Alabaster said.
“As the national airline, it is paramount to ensure our services are benchmarked by global standards and safety.”
“We integrate the appropriate technology for the ease of doing business and provide a seamless customer experience from planning travel to ensuring we reach our destinations.”
BSP group general manager for retail Daniel Faunt said BSP decided this year to commit capital and resources to build its own internet payment gateway (IPG) in PNG.
It coincided with the exit from the IPG market of one of the larger global IPG providers.
“Papua New Guineans are rapidly adapting to digital banking solutions and more businesses are investing in e-commerce as they see the gains efficiency and additional sales opportunities it brings,” he said.
“We are proud to welcome Air Niugini to the BSP e-commerce ecosystem of service providers who are driving the adoption of online payments in PNG.”
