Emirates Airline has introduced additional convenient and flexible payment options for Kenyan travellers.

This offers them a better real-time user experience on the airline’s website and app when planning their travel.

In a statement on Monday, Emirates Airline said customers can now purchase their flight tickets using local debit and credit cards, mobile money or through mobile banking and have their ticket issued within minutes.

"This provides even greater convenience for customers by enabling them to switch from cash to online bank transfers from 12 local banks or three mobile wallet providers," Country Manager Christophe Leloup said.

He said that the options will provide travellers with an easy-to-use booking and payment platform.

“...we have worked very hard to provide them with a secure and frictionless experience through more local banking partners, mobile money providers and a host of other options to facilitate payments," Leloup said.

"No matter the currency, location, bank, or card, our customers will find a payment solution that suits them when booking.” 

Emirates has been gradually and safely rebuilding its route network and advancing its strategy to optimise its presence in key markets to serve leisure and growing business travel demand.

Currently, the airline serves 120 global destinations and operates daily flights from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to Dubai and beyond.
