Ask Pyper about how these payment flows work and which documents an independent processing partner may need.

Ask Pyper

Important: AltirasPay is not the bank

We design, document and connect. Independent acquiring banks and processors make the underwriting decision and set pricing, reserves, funding and which payment methods are available for your business.

Why it matters

A $75,000 Charter Shouldn't Be Treated Like a $75 Online Order.

Private aviation creates unusual transaction patterns: large deposits, corporate cards, international passengers, charter balances, fuel, maintenance and aircraft transactions.

We help structure each payment around what it actually represents.

An aircraft booking can take money today for service weeks later. High-value payments, multiple counterparties and cancellations all change the underwriting file.

What goes wrong today

Where private aviation & aircraft services payments break.

01
Deposit timing creates exposure that flat-rate checkout misses.
02
Ticket size changes the right combination of card, ACH and wire.
03
Brokers, FBOs and operators are often treated like one business.

Charter Payment Architecture

Accept a card deposit when the trip is booked while allowing higher-value balances to move over more economical rails such as ACH or wire. The deposit and the balance are different transactions doing different jobs, and pricing them as one is how aviation accounts end up expensive.

Corporate Card Optimization

Where supported, transmit enhanced commercial transaction data for eligible corporate purchasing cards instead of processing every invoice like a consumer purchase.

FBO & Fuel Payments

Build payment workflows around the things an FBO actually bills for, each with its own timing and its own approver.

Fuel
Hangar
Ground services
Catering
Maintenance
Handling
Crew services

International Client Payments

Support the workflows a foreign-issued card and a foreign counterparty need.

Multi-currency acceptance
Cross-border transactions
Sanctions screening
High-ticket fraud review
Wire settlement

Aircraft Sales

A completely different payment workflow from charter, and it should not share one.

RECONCILIATION

AltirasPay is not the acquiring bank, the processor, the gateway or the payout institution. Final underwriting, pricing, approval, supported transaction types and rail availability remain with the acquiring bank and payment provider.

Your questions

Let's talk about what is possible.

Can a customer pay a charter deposit by card?

Potentially. Eligibility, limits and reserves depend on the merchant, transaction timing and acquiring partner.

Can you route the full aircraft sale through a credit card?

High-value purchases require individual review. Often the answer is a structured mix of methods, not forcing the entire purchase through one card transaction.
