Ethiopian Airlines Adds Alipay to its Payment Gateway

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest aviation group together with SkyTrax Four Star Airline, has partnered with CellPoint Mobile to accept payments via Alipay – China’s leading alternative payment method (APM), in the mobile app of Ethiopian Airlines.

Miretab Teklaye, Director Digital, at Ethiopian Airlines said, “The Alipay integration is the first in our PSP (payments solution provider) partnership in China and an important step in our airline’s growth strategy for the mobile channel.”

“With 100 million Chinese traveling abroad every year, more merchants in Southeast Asia, Western Europe, North America – and now Ethiopia – are investing in mobile solutions to support Alipay for Chinese visitors and tourists, as well as foreign expats living in China,” wrote CellPoint.

This partnership is a big deal for Ethiopia – as the continent’s largest carrier is targeting Chinese tourists coming to the continent. Also, it makes more sense for Alipay as they are willing to gain ground across the African continent.

Early this year, Ethiopian Airlines selected CellPoint Mobile as its global payments solution provider (PSP). As part of the partnership, CellPoint would “add many new alternative payment methods (APMs) to its mobile app that resonate with its passengers.”
