Air Niugini diversifies payment options

AIR Niugini is now accepting PayPal and POLi payment methods for purchasing airline tickets online as a way to diversify payment options and part of the initiatives to enhance the customer experience.
Air Niugini general manager, commercial services, Dominic Kaumu said introducing PayPal and POLi payment methods represented another important step in ensuring customers were offered alternative payment options when purchasing tickets.
“For Air Niugini customers, this is an added convenience, especially for those existing PayPal and POLi customers who are used to their preferred payment method,” he said.
“These two alternative payment methods may also be welcomed by those who are still not comfortable about giving their credit card details away online.”
The PayPal and POLi payments have been accepted since 8pm on Dec 10.
Both payment methods were being offered on Air Niugini’s website.
Kaumu said that with these new payment options,customers would benefit from another two secured payment options in addition to the current four used which are Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Universal Air Travel Plan (UATP).
“Customers purchasing tickets online can pay using their PayPal balance, their own bank account or credit card that are linked to their PayPal account without the need to retype credit card details when making payments,” he said.
