PayGate credit card payment gateway is proud to be service provider to Air Namibia. Air Namibia is one of the first African airlines to introduce booking online and has been successfully up and running for over two months. PayGate has implemented MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by Visa functionality on Air Nambia's booking engine to ensure that legitimate bookings take place. This exciting project was negotiated and implemented by Xavier Masule (Business Development Executive) and Keni Abrahams (Manager IT) for Air Namibia. Africa is becoming the most exciting place to be for the airline industry. Tourism and Travel growth rates in Africa are outstripping the rest of the world. The PayGate and Air Namibia partnership has been very successful and a very good example to airlines in Africa wanting to move to internet eTicketing solutions. A number of other African countries are looking to the success of this African airline initiative. Improved cost efficiency for airlines is top of the agenda for everyone in the airline industry. Internet booking and eTicketing is the ideal way of bringing down costs. IATA has insisted that electronic ticketing is implemented by May 2008. The Air Namibia and PayGate internet booking system goes a long way to providing a more effective and cost-effective solution. Air Namibia has done talks in other parts of Africa around the success of their implementation with PayGate. Now airline tickets can be booked from the comfort of your office or home, or any internet cafe.
Internet online airline ticketing booking system implemented by PayGate and Air Namibia has been an excellent example of how Africa can meet its eTicketing deadline in May 2008.
