Take flight with Transaction Risk Analysis

Improve the customer experience even before takeoff with TRA, which allows exemptions to Secure Customer Authentication for online transactions up to €500.* This means frictionless checkout and less cart abandonment, while protecting your airline from online fraud.

*For other currencies, the value is the up-to-date converted amount equivalent to €500 at the time of transaction.
