From May 23, 2018, Transavia will support (contactless) debit card payments on board, making it the first Dutch airline to offer this.

As an airline, we would like to offer our passengers this convenience. We are proud to be the first Dutch airline to do this.' said Annemarie Hoogeveen, Head of Cabin at Transavia.
From May 23, every Transavia device will be equipped with equipment that supports pins. With this new payment system, Transavia is ready for the future; In addition to (contactless) debit card payments, it is also possible to pay with a smartphone or smartwatch. The development and introduction of this new payment system was done in collaboration with partner Tre3.
