Why Airlines are Considered High-Risk by Payment Processors
The airline industry is considered high-risk by payment processors for several reasons:
- High Ticket Value: Flights are expensive which means more chargeback exposure.
- Frequent Cancellations: Refunds and disputes lead to more processing risk.
- Global Operations: Managing multiple currencies and compliance standards is complex.
- Fraud: Airlines are a target for fraud so they need robust security.
