New Year celebrations begin early for AirPlus International. For the second consecutive year, AirPlus has been awarded as the “Best Corporate Card Provider” at the 2009 Buying Business Travel Diamond Awards – one of UK’s most prestigious award ceremonies in the BTM industry. The recognition as the leading corporate (lodge) card provider, was received by the industry buyers, managers and arrangers, who make up the readership of the Buying Business Travel magazine.
Yael Klein, Managing Director of AirPlus International Ltd, stated “Winning the 2009 Buying Business Travel Diamond Award is truly a testament to the superior quality of products and services we currently offer to our customers. We celebrate our achievements thus far and look forward to 2009 with great optimism, as we launch our new corporate card and expand our operations in the UK. As we strive to become the preferred business travel payment provider, we aim not only to live up to our current title, but to exceed the expectations as the ‘Best Corporate Card Provider’ in 2009.”
With yet another high calibre award under its belt, AirPlus International re-affirms its positioning as the leading player in integrated payment solutions in the UK, currently offering the best corporate (lodge card) payment solution in the market, and soon launching its new self-issued corporate card for on-the-road business expenses.
AirPlus recently celebrated the roll-out of its new product with key accounts and partners some 180 meters above the ground, at an exclusive pre-launch function at the 40:30 (aka “The Gherkin”). The celebration marked a milestone for AirPlus, as it becomes an independent issuer of its own corporate card for on-the-road business travel expenses.
The journey to self-issuing has been powered by AirPlus’ response to market changes, commitment to innovation, and experience in the marketplace as an established payment provider known for its competence and service. The new corporate card aims to enhance the existing lodge card product offering, which continues to receive some of the highest accolades in the BTM industry.
