Digicel Financial Services Limited and PNG Air have entered into a partnership to enable PNG Air customers to pay their tickets electronically using Digicel CellMoni.
Through this partnership, officially launched today, PNG Air customers can book and pay their airline tickets using CellMoni without having to travel physically to a PNG Air Office or travel agency. An online booking can be made through the PNG Air website (www.pngair.com.pg) or by calling PNG Air Customer Care on 16 111 and select the CellMoni payment option.
Digicel’s Chief Executive Officer, Colin Stone, commented that Digicel is delighted to collaborate with PNG Air to provide the technology to allow customers to make remote payments and cash collection across Papua New Guinea.
Mr. Stone said, “This partnership reinforces our continued commitment of investing in Papua New Guinea and the future generations of this country with innovative products and services, especially to marginalized, rural and remote communities that find it difficult to access financial services. PNG Air customers who are also Digicel customers will experience the ease and comfort of paying for airline tickets from the comfort of their home or office. As we say in Digicel, we are better together.”
“The CellMoni service spans through all of PNG similar to the Digicel network, providing financial inclusion into the market place for those that are unable to access formal financial solutions.”
As PNG Air marks 35 years of connecting Papua New Guinea in 2022, the decision to add CellMoni Payments is both a timely and strategic one. PNG Air Acting Chief Executive officer, Mr. Stanley Stevens said, “By having CellMoni as a form of payment for tickets, our customers now have the flexibility and more ways to pay for their PNG Air tickets. The bridge that CellMoni provides is beneficial as it enables us to connect more Papua New Guineans with their families, wantoks and businesses all across PNG.”
