The airline industry and travel companies have small profit margins. However, payments and fraud represent great opportunities for cost savings, as well as new sources of revenue in the multi-channel, international and cross-border markets in which they operate. The 8th "Airline & Travel Payments Summit Latin America" (ATPS) addressed these issues, challenges and opportunites, as well as how companies respond to them in innovative new ways.
