Egypt’s national airline, Egyptair, Amazon Payment Services and Banque Misr have established a strategic partnership.

Through this partnership, Egyptair’s travel product will be combined with Amazon Payment Services’ range of online payment processing services, with the support of Banque Misr, to improve the online payment experience for travellers worldwide.

Facilitating seamless online transactions through this partnership, Amazon Payment Services is extending its core online payment processing services to enable all Egyptair  travellers across the MENA region to conveniently and securely book and pay for their tickets online.

As part of this collaboration, customers will also be able to leverage Amazon Payment Services’ instalments service to pay for their tickets in smaller more manageable amounts.
