CyberSource provides IT solutions for VietJetAir

VietJetAir on Thursday announced an agreement with CyberSource, which is one of the world’s major providers of secure eCommerce payment management services.

Desmond Lin, business development director of the privately-held budget airline VietJetAir, said CyberSource supported the processes, expertise and experience to guarantee service quality for customers. The agreement is aligned with the carrier’s endeavor to provide customers with a secure online payment process.

Michael Bradley, Asia-Pacific managing director of CyberSource, said CyberSource Payment Services and Decision Manager together with the support of CyberSource Fraud Analysts would enable VietJetAir’s customers to buy tickets online from any location.

VietJetAir now operates Airbus A320 aircraft for its flights linking Vietnam’s major economic and tourist hubs of Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Hanoi and Nha Trang. In April this year, the airline increased its daily flight frequency on the Ho Chi Minh City-Hanoi route to eight flights from three.

The carrier is proceeding with plans to open new routes to other destinations in Vietnam as well as service routes between Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia.

Early this year, Singapore International Airlines Engineering Co. struck a deal with VietJetAir to assist the latter’s fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft with spares pooling and support, component repair and overhaul. The airline plans to expand its fleet to 15 in the next three years.

CyberSource, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visa Inc., is a payment management company and provides more than 370,000 businesses worldwide with solutions to process online payments, streamline fraud management, and simplify payment security.
