Akasa Air Partners with Razorpay to Enable Apple Pay for Cross-Border Transactions

Mumbai: Akasa Air has announced Apple Pay as a payment option on its website and mobile app.

This integration has been facilitated in partnership with Razorpay. The move aims to empower international travellers with a seamless and secure payment experience for all flight bookings. With this, Akasa Air has become the first Indian carrier to enable Apple Pay for cross-border transactions. 

Apple Pay reduces drop-offs and supports smoother international bookings for global travellers. With features like one-tap payments through Face ID or Touch ID, Apple Pay simplifies the checkout process for customers. This makes flight bookings faster and more convenient for users of Apple devices.  

For domestic bookings, the airline will continue to accept a wide range of payment instruments to ensure convenience for all customers, including UPI, credit and debit cards, net banking, digital wallets, EMI options, and Paylater.

Commenting on the announcement, Naarayan T V, Chief Marketing Officer, Akasa Air, said “At Akasa Air, we are committed to building a seamless and intuitive travel experience for our customers across every touchpoint. The integration of Apple Pay is another step in strengthening our digital backbone and enabling secure, frictionless payments for travellers across the globe. As we expand our international presence, offering secure and effortless payment options becomes indispensable. The introduction of Apple Pay in partnership with Razorpay enables us to deliver precisely that, an elevated booking experience anchored in reliability, customer centricity and technological excellence.”  

Commenting on this development, Rahul Kothari, COO, Razorpay, said, “Apple Pay has redefined digital payments by setting a global benchmark for speed, security, and convenience. For merchants, it unlocks smoother checkouts and stronger customer trust, both critical for succeeding in international markets. We’re delighted to power this integration for Akasa Air and support them in delivering seamless, future-ready payment experiences to their global customers.”
