Iberia, the renowned airline, has broadened its payment options by incorporating UnionPay, a leading global payment method, into its portfolio. This strategic move caters to the airline's diverse customer base, offering an additional layer of convenience and security for travelers worldwide.

With the integration of UnionPay, passengers now have the flexibility to book and pay for their flights directly on Iberia's website and mobile app. This addition not only enhances the customer experience but also positions Iberia as a forward-thinking airline in the competitive aviation sector. UnionPay, with its widespread acceptance in 181 countries and billions of cards in circulation, is particularly favored in the Chinese and Asian markets, indicating Iberia's commitment to serving the needs of international travelers.

UnionPay International, the global arm of the UnionPay network, boasts the largest cardholder base worldwide. It partners with over 2,500 entities globally and is acknowledged at more than 70 million establishments across 181 nations. The expansion of UnionPay's acceptance, including at over 38 million merchants and 1.76 million ATMs outside China, underscores its pivotal role in facilitating seamless global transactions.

This latest development is part of Iberia's continuous effort to provide a seamless and efficient booking experience. By accommodating a variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, PayPal, Bizum, and now UnionPay, Iberia ensures that every traveler, regardless of their preferred payment solution, can enjoy the convenience and security of booking flights with ease.
