AltirasPay

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.

What we actually do about it

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.

Your payment architecture

AltirasPay is not the acquiring bank, the processor, the gateway or the payout institution. We help work out what needs to happen, what technology is needed, which rails fit, what the bank needs to see and which partners may fit. Final underwriting, pricing, approval, supported transaction types and rail availability remain with the acquiring bank and payment provider.
