Lufthansa Group has announced a new passenger payments-related partnership with global digital payments giant Klarna and business-focused tech firm Adyen.
Beginning in mid-November, Lufthansa Group customers will gain access to Klarna’s flexible payment solutions—powered by Adyen’s global payments infrastructure—when booking travel experiences. The new feature is available for all Lufthansa Group customers from Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland, as well as other important markets.
This means, in addition to the commonly used option “Pay in Full” for a seamless one-time payment, travelers can now also choose:
● “Pay Later” – book flights immediately and pay after a set period of time
● “Financing” – spread the cost of higher-value bookings over a longer period.
“At Lufthansa Group, we put the needs and a convenient booking experience of our customers at the center of everything we do,” said Oliver Schmitt, Managing Director Lufthansa Group Digital Hangar. “By leveraging our digital capabilities and partnering with Klarna and Adyen, we can now offer greater choice and flexibility in how customers pay for their journeys.”
“Travel is one of the most meaningful investments people make,” said David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna. “Together with Lufthansa Group and Adyen, we’re making it easier for travelers to book with confidence, by giving them more flexible and transparent ways to pay.”
“We’re proud to support Lufthansa Group with our technology and global payments network,” said Alexa von Bismarck, President EMEA at Adyen. “By combining Adyen’s reliable infrastructure with Klarna’s innovative payment solutions, Lufthansa Group customers will benefit from a smooth and flexible checkout experience.”
The rollout will begin in mid-November across Lufthansa Group’s home markets and a selection of further important markets, with plans to expand across all Lufthansa Group Network Airlines, namely Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, SWISS and Brussels Airlines until the end of Q2/2026.
