If you’ve flown out of Dubai International Airport (DXB) often enough, you’ll know this feeling well. You’re at the counter. Passport in one hand. Phone in the other. And then comes the payment step — slow terminals, manual entry, small delays that add up.
That’s about to change.
flydubai and Network International have introduced Push to Pay technology at Dubai International Airport, bringing a faster and more secure payment experience to flydubai’s airport service touchpoints. It’s a quiet upgrade, but one that makes a noticeable difference — especially at one of the world’s busiest airports.
This move fits right into Dubai’s wider push towards friction-free travel and smart digital services.
What Is Push to Pay — in Simple Terms
Push to Pay removes the need for manual card entry during airport transactions.
Instead of typing card numbers or waiting for approvals, payments are processed quickly through secure, automated flows. The result? Shorter queues, fewer errors, and a smoother interaction at flydubai counters inside DXB.
Passengers can use:
- Major international cards
- Contactless payment methods
- Jaywan, the UAE’s national payment scheme
For residents and frequent flyers, this means less hassle during check-in changes, seat upgrades, baggage payments, or service requests.
It’s not flashy tech. It’s practical tech. And at DXB, that matters.
this move at Dubai International Airport
DXB isn’t just an airport. It’s a constant flow of people, languages, deadlines, and destinations.
On a normal day, thousands of passengers pass through flydubai service points — tourists heading to Europe, families flying home to the subcontinent, business travellers rushing to meetings across the GCC.
Even saving a minute per transaction makes a difference.
With Push to Pay:
- Payments move faster
- Queues ease up during peak hours
- Staff spend less time on manual checks
- Passengers spend less time waiting
For anyone who has stood in line during holiday rush or late-night departures, this is a welcome change.
A Better Experience for Dubai’s Everyday Flyers
Dubai residents fly often. Weekend trips. Work travel. Last-minute bookings.
This new payment system is designed with that reality in mind.
No repeated card entry, awkward pauses at the counter, or unnecessary back-and-forth.
It’s especially helpful during busy seasons — school holidays, Eid travel, winter tourism peaks — when DXB is operating at full speed.
And for visitors, it reflects what Dubai does best: small efficiency upgrades that quietly improve daily life.
Part of Dubai’s Bigger Cashless Vision
The launch of Push to Pay at Dubai International Airport isn’t happening in isolation.
It aligns closely with Dubai’s wider cashless and digital payments strategy, which aims to reduce physical cash usage across transport, retail, travel, and government services.
From:
- Smart gates and biometric immigration
- Digital parking and e-wallet payments
- Contactless public transport
Dubai has consistently invested in systems that save time and reduce friction.
Adding faster payment technology at the airport fits naturally into this ecosystem.
What flydubai and Network International Are Focusing On
For flydubai, the focus is clear: improve the passenger journey beyond the flight itself.
For Network International, it’s about delivering payment solutions that work at scale — securely, efficiently, and without disrupting existing operations.
Together, the partnership shows how airlines and fintech companies are working behind the scenes to improve real-world experiences, not just apps or announcements.
The result is something passengers feel immediately, even if they don’t notice the tech by name.
