Lufthansa Group have announced a new partnership with Swedish financial services firm Klarna for buy now, pay later booking.
Facilitated by technology company Adyen, the integration will allow Lufthansa Group customers to pay in full, pay later, or split the cost across multiple interest-free payments. Klarna already boats Qatar Airways and Booking.com among its travel partners, as the industry strives to offer consumers flexible, convenient payment options.
Oliver Schmitt, Head of Digital Customer Solutions Lufthansa Group, said:
At Lufthansa Group, we put the needs and a convenient booking experience of our customers at the center of everything we do. By leveraging our digital capabilities and partnering with Klarna and Adyen, we can now offer greater choice and flexibility in how customers pay for their journeys.
Operating over 991,000 flights in 2024, Lufthansa Group is one of the biggest aviation groups in Europe. Managing airlines including Eurowings, Lufthansa, and SWISS, the partnership with Klarna represents a significant payments upgrade for customers across Europe and beyond.
The Klarna payment options will be rolled out across the network by Q2 2026. Customers in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States will be the first to benefit from the partnership.
David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna, added:
Travel is one of the most meaningful investments people make. Together, we’re giving travellers the confidence to book their trips their way—with more flexibility, transparency, and choice than ever before.
