Emirates Airline will now offer Visa Checkout, allowing shoppers to book tickets using either their debit or credit cards online and on any device, with just a few clicks.

Visa Checkout, the online checkout service by global payments technology company Visa, is now available to Emirates Airline customers in 15 countries including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, the UAE and the US.

Emirates customers can now conveniently use Visa Checkout with any Visa debit or credit card to make Emirates Airline ticket purchases to its global network spanning six continents directly from the emirates.com website. The service solves the frustration that many online shoppers face in having to submit large amounts of information – such as their name, card numbers and billing address - each time they want to make an online purchase.

Paul McCrea, Visa's vice president of products for Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “We are delighted that Emirates Airline will now offer Visa Checkout to customers in 15 countries who wish to book air tickets online. For Emirates customers, Visa Checkout is quick and easy to use, particularly as they book air tickets more frequently on smaller devices like mobile phones and tablets but still want to use the payment cards they already know and trust. Ultimately, Visa Checkout will ensure that consumers have a seamless and secure experience while booking a host of exciting travel options on the world’s largest international airline – Emirates Airline. Globally, our Visa Checkout merchant partners are already seeing the benefits, and we are expecting similar results with Emirates.” - TradeArabia News Service
