About IATA Financial Gateway
IATA Financial Gateway (IFG) is a platform designed to streamline payment processes for airlines by consolidating multiple payment systems into a unified user interface.
Traditionally, airlines have relied on various payment providers, each with its own systems and interfaces, resulting in a fragmented and complex payment landscape.
IFG addresses this challenge by providing a centralized platform that integrates with multiple payment providers, enabling airlines to process payments seamlessly and efficiently.
With IFG, airlines can manage all payment-related activities, such as ticket sales, refunds, and ancillary services, through a single intuitive UI. This eliminates the need for airline staff to navigate multiple systems, reducing operational complexity and improving productivity.
