16 November 2009 → Belavia tickets available via Internet
The national airlines company Belavia has started selling tickets via the Internet, BelTA learned from representatives of the air company.
“11 November saw the first ticket sold via the Belavia website. The ticket was booked and paid for using a bank card via the Raschet system, the integrated payment and information space of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus”, informed specialists.
The first ticket, which was acquired via the website www.belavia.by, was made for the flights from Minsk to Moscow and from Moscow to Minsk. “The first buyer of the Belavia ticket has got his service class upgraded up to business class”, added the source.
Belavia expects the new service to be widely used by Belavia passengers nationwide as payment centers of the system Raschet are situated in practically all the Belarusian communities where branches of Raschet-enabled commercial banks are located.
No longer limited to booking offices of the company and airline ticket agents, Belavia passengers can now use bank cards to buy tickets via payment terminals and ATMs as well as Internet banking and electronic cash systems.
The system Raschet has been created by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus. It was launched in 2008. This system provides one-stop all-in-one payment services, decreasing payment processing expenses, enabling customers to pay for services via settlement banks from any region.
