A digital credit service that offers customers post-flight payment modalities for up to a year was launched last week. Dubbed Guzogo, the mobile application is integrated with 10 airline companies including Emirates, Lufthansa, Qatar and Kenya Airways. A call centre alternative is availed for non-smartphone users where they can compare the prices of flights and choose destinations. Tewodros Shiferaw, CEO of Guzogo, said the "Fly now pay later" facilitation goes beyond professional investments and proves to be a practical solution during security concerns where travellers cannot get their hands on enough cash for instant payments. Partnering with Eagle-Lion System Technology, Sol-get Travel Plc launched the application at the Hyatt Regency last week. According to Bersufekad Getachew, CEO of Eagle-Lion, a system where travellers can get tickets from commercial banks was also availed with 1,000 branches in Abyssinia and Berhan banks with plans to integrate others in the coming months. Recalling the Covid-19 pandemic that challenged travel agencies and flight operators, Bersufekad disclosed they have provided agent platforms.
