Emirates introduces online payment

Emirates recently introduced an online payment option, allowing customers to make payments anytime and from anywhere to complete their booking transactions.

Customers can now use locally issued debit and credit cards to complete the payment transaction on emirates.com, making the booking process easier, faster and more secure, said a press release.

"The new online payment solution allows our customers to pay for tickets and services seamlessly via our online channels, and enjoy the convenience 24 hours a day, saving their valuable time," said Mohamed Al Hammadi, country manager for Bangladesh at Emirates.

"Our new initiative is also in line with Bangladesh government's efforts to digitalise every sector and build a Smart Bangladesh," he added.

Emirates currently operates 21 flights a week from Dhaka and from Dhaka via Dubai providing convenient connections to over 130 destinations across six continents.
