Key facts
- Worldpay from FIS will handle payment services for Brazil’s
largest domestic airline in the 38 countries where it
operates.
- GOL will take advantage of Worldpay’s global reach to enhance

Financial technology leader FIS® (NYSE: FIS) announced that
Brazil’s largest domestic airline, GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes
S.A., has selected Worldpay from FIS as its preferred payments
partner in 38 international markets where the airline operates
around the world.
As Covid-19-related travel restrictions are lifted across the
world, GOL needed a payments services provider with deep airline
industry experience that could support its plans for international
growth while enhancing the experience for its customers and airline
agents.
"GOL has always been driven by providing the best experience for
its passengers through constant improvement in the efficiency of
its digital channels together with its strategic partners. That is
why we chose to work with Worldpay, a leader in online ticket
payment processing," said Mario Liao, Chief Financial Officer at
GOL. "The partnership established with Worldpay will enable a
significant improvement in sales conversion, especially for
international markets, greater flexibility for the implementation
of new payment methods and an improvement in the Company's working
capital management through a significant reduction in average
collection times.
The rapidly growing airline will take advantage of Worldpay’s
global reach and ability to provide fast, convenient processing for
customers using their preferred payments methods. In addition,
because Worldpay is an International Air Transport
Association-registered Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) acquirer
in more than 100 countries, the airline will be able to centralize
its BSP transactions - further streamlining processes and reducing
costs.
"Airlines with a strategic vision for the future of business,
such as GOL, know that offering the best customer experiences will
be their passport to success," said Juan Pablo D'Antiochia, Head of
LatAm Merchant Solutions, FIS. "In addition, having the best
payment experience is important for today's travellers and can be a
competitive differential in this sector that has been resuming
activities and growing at a fast pace."
Worldpay has significant experience in the airline industry and
processes payments in more than 100 countries in numerous payments
types and currencies. The company’s clients across the globe, like
GOL, benefit from Worldpay’s wealth of payments and regulatory
expertise.
