Qatar Airways has announced a new partnership with Klarna, the global digital bank and provider of flexible payment solutions. The collaboration introduces a range of new payment options designed to offer passengers greater control, convenience and flexibility when booking their flights.
Klarna will now be available as a payment option for Qatar Airways customers on its website in 17 European countries, including France, the UK and Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Christophe Guittard, Senior Vice President of Digital Commercial at Qatar Airways, explains: " This partnership illustrates our commitment to customer empowerment and travel experience excellence. By working with Klarna, we are making the booking process with Qatar Airways even smoother - giving our customers greater confidence at the point of payment. "
Raji Behal, Head of Western and Southern Europe at Klarna, added: " This partnership reflects the growing global demand for greater flexibility and control when booking travel. Thanks to a unique integration, Qatar Airways now offers Klarna to millions of travellers in 17 countries. The result is a smarter booking experience tailored to today's payment habits. "
Four settlement options
Qatar Airways customers will be able to choose from four different payment options generated by Klarna at the time of payment.
- Pay in one go - the full amount is paid immediately.
- Pay within 30 days - book now and pay within 30 days.
- Pay in 3 instalments - payment in three interest-free instalments.
- Financing - payment is spread over several months.
Through its partnership with Klarna via Worldpay, Qatar Airways is offering its passengers greater travel flexibility throughout Europe. A cash solution that could prove particularly interesting for certain SMEs and micro-businesses.
This initiative continues the company's commitment to putting innovation at the service of the customer, allowing travellers to plan and pay for their journeys on their own terms, while redefining the booking experience with greater freedom and choice.
However, Qatar Airways is not the only carrier to offer this payment flexibility with Klarna. This solution is also available from Cathay Pacific, Delta Air Lines, SAS, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines, among others.
