WeChat enables in-flight mobile payment

Social media platform WeChat has made in-flight mobile payment possible by post-landing settlement. WeChat Pay rolled out a pilot in-flight mobile payment service last week for passengers taking two flights with Spring Airlines. Users with a credit score above 550 can apply for the service, which enables them to make purchases without access to the internet during the flight, and pay automatically via their accounts after landing. The service will be promoted to other flights to improve the in-flight shopping experience, according to WeChat.
