Who Needs a Merchant Account in the Airline and Aviation Industry?

Airline operators, charter companies, private jet providers, aircraft maintenance firms, and aviation training academies all require reliable merchant accounts. High average transaction values, international clients, and strict compliance demands make aviation a complex payment environment. A merchant account enables businesses in aviation to:

• Accept credit and debit card payments globally
• Settle high-value transactions securely and efficiently
• Reduce chargeback risks with expert routing and fraud controls
• Remain compliant with evolving industry regulations

Whether you’re managing an international airline or a private aviation service, payment stability drives customer trust and operational growth.

Why Is Aviation Considered High Risk in Payment Processing?

The aviation sector is classified as high-risk by most processors due to:

• High average ticket sizes
• International transactions
• Long fulfillment windows (pre-bookings and reservations)
• Frequent chargebacks from travel changes or cancellations
• Regulatory scrutiny from agencies like the FAA, DOT, and IATA

These factors often result in delays, denials, or frozen funds with conventional providers. At 2Accept, we specialize in navigating these complexities with agility.
