CellPoint Digital partners with La Compagnie to optimize airline payments

By Gloria Methri

CellPoint Digital has partnered with French airline La Compagnie to help the carrier optimise its payment processes, lower its transaction costs, and provide more flexible payment options to its passengers.

As La Compagnie looks to expand its fleet and route network in 2025, it is embracing Payment Orchestration in partnership with CellPoint Digital.

“The attention around La Compagnie is well-deserved – it’s an airline that truly understands what its customers want and need and is agile enough to pivot its operations to meet that demand,” said Kristian Gjerding, CEO of CellPoint Digital. “By utilising our Payment Orchestration Platform, La Compagnie stays true to this principle; it can enable more varied payment options for passengers, streamline processes and improve efficiencies, and expand its unique business model to new markets.”

As La Compagnie grows, moving beyond a single acquirer strategy and routing its transactions more optimally to reduce costs becomes a competitive advantage. By using CellPoint Digital’s complete Payment Orchestration Platform, the airline can seamlessly integrate new acquirers, digital wallets, and many other alternative payment methods (APMs) like open banking and PayPal to better serve passengers.

“We are committed to giving our passengers the best possible user experience–and that includes payments,” said Caroline Petit, CFO of La Compagnie. “We selected CellPoint Digital not only because they offer the most reliable platform within the airline payment ecosystem but also because they share that commitment to delivering a high-quality product and service that enhances our competitiveness. As we work to offer more routes and increase our service offerings, CellPoint Digital’s payment orchestration platform will streamline our integration with new acquirers, simplify digital wallet integrations, and enable us to offer a wide range of alternative payment methods that our customers are increasingly requesting.”
