Japan’s Peach Aviation has suspended credit card payments for in-flight sales as of September 1.
This is due to the airline having received notice that the developer of the application used for in-flight sales has commenced bankruptcy proceedings, making continued use of the system difficult. For the time being, only cash payments in Japanese yen (JPY) will be accepted.
In addition, the 10% discount on in-flight meals offered as a benefit of the Peach CARD when paying by card will be changed to a discount applied upon presentation of the card.
As a result, payment receipts and statements cannot be issued. Customers who require a receipt are asked to inform the cabin crew.
