Kampala, Uganda – In a move set to revolutionize air travel payments, Flydubai has teamed up with Network International to integrate mobile money for flight bookings in Uganda.
Starting immediately, passengers can pay via MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money when booking flights online or through the Flydubai app—eliminating the need for credit cards or bank transfers.
Why This Matters
East Africa leads the world in mobile money adoption, and this partnership taps into Uganda’s cashless payment boom. For Flydubai, it’s a strategic play to simplify travel payments while expanding its reach in Africa.
What Leaders Are Saying
- Sudhir Sreeditan (Flydubai’s Commercial Operations VP): “This partnership reflects our commitment to cutting-edge solutions for seamless travel.”
- Judy Waruiru (Network International’s East Africa MD): “Integrating mobile money with an international airline proves how localized digital payments are transforming commerce.”
What’s Next?
The service may soon expand to Kenya and Tanzania, where mobile money dominance mirrors Uganda’s.
The Bigger Picture
- Flydubai serves 130+ destinations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
- Network International powers digital payments for banks and merchants globally.
This collaboration signals a growing trend of airlines adapting to Africa’s unique financial landscape—making travel more accessible for millions.
With mobile money now in play, booking a Flydubai flight from Uganda just got faster, easier, and more inclusive.
