Cryptocurrency Payments for Jet Charterers
Selling charter flights via Leon has been enhanced with new options for cryptocurrency payments, through the integration with Mirai Pay.
Payments in Bitcoins alongside other popular cryptocurrencies have suddenly become a versatile method of conducting settlements in the jet charter industry and there are several reasons for that. Crypto gives customers an opportunity to finalise transactions faster, outside of normal banking hours, paying for a charter within seconds through a secure, efficient channel.
While several business aviation companies have recently adopted cryptocurrencies in addition to their traditional payment methods, these new options have been so far limited for a number of operators. The implementation of Mirai Pay integration in the ecosystem of Leon’s integrated solutions changes that significantly. The Mirai Pay system guarantees operators a fast 1-day connection, easy link building and no chargebacks. The additional perk comes in the form of branded operator payment order pages. The integration is now available with over 40 other solutions in the Add-ons section of Leon. Enabling it is as easy as contacting the Mirai Pay support at and requesting an API token.
The Mirai Pay Integration
An integration with the Mirai Pay payment system allows for a seamless incorporation of cryptocurrency payments into the workflow process of Sales departments that use Leon on a daily basis. Sales teams can now include auto-generated payment links in the communication with a client, with transaction amounts that could be up to 300,000 EUR and no chargebacks allowed via the system.
“The extent to which cryptocurrencies can be utilised as a payment method for private jet bookings has really boomed over the last year, making it a must-have payment option for a rising number of business operators” said Paweł Kruk, CEO of Leon Software. “At Leon, we are excited to be at the vanguard of the change, introducing the support for blockchain transactions to the growing part of the jet charter industry.”

So far payments conducted via Leon have support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with other cryptocurrencies like USDT and Litecoin (LTC) to be available in the near future.
"Since the implementation of this project with Leon, customers of Malta-based operator Emperor Aviation have made transactions amounting to more than €3 million," said Irakli Litanishvili, CEO & Founder of Mirai Pay. "We are delighted that the partnership with Leon will enable our customers to leverage their digital asset for flights while enabling operators to maintain customer loyalty, increase margins and attract new audiences to the business aviation market."
Together with the integration of the payment solution, all Leon client operators get the exclusive option of placing a charter fleet in the Mirai Pay app.
