AirPlus announces 2006 profits
Business travel payment solutions provider AirPlus International has announced pre-tax profits of £9 million for 2006 and has made a commitment to become the world’s preferred provider of payment and analysis solutions for business travel by 2012.
The company says growth is due in part to worldwide partnerships, such as a tie-up with Singapore Airlines, and its AirPlus lodge card, which is run in partnership with MasterCard.
The company is about to launch an electronic invoice service in the UK, called FlexEbill.
