To implement this facility, Kiwi has partnered with Collinson International. Collinson International is a global company in the airport experience and customer engagement solutions sector. Users who spend Rs 50,000 through UPI via credit card on the Kiwi platform will get one airport lounge access for free.

The demand for air travel in India is increasing rapidly

By becoming the first UPI app to offer airport lounge access, Kiwi has taken a big step towards providing new convenience to its users. The demand for air travel in India is increasing rapidly and people now want to make their journey more comfortable.

A recent survey by Collinson International found that airport lounge access is one of the most attractive travel rewards for 44% of Indians. This figure is much higher than security fast-track (9%) and airport transfer (7%).

The trend of digital payment is increasing rapidly in the country

It is very easy to avail the airport lounge facility through the Kiwi app which is completely digital. Users can book lounge access through the Kiwi app. For this, they have to generate a pass or QR code, which can be scanned at the lounge entrance to avail the facility. Kiwi is planning to launch another new facility in the future, through which users will be able to give this benefit to their friends, family members or co-passengers as well.

Mohit Bedi, co-founder and chief business officer of Kiwi, says, “We do not want to limit the payment platform to just transactions, but want to make it a great lifestyle experience.” According to data from the Ministry of Finance, UPI transactions through RuPay credit cards have doubled in the first seven months of FY25, which clearly shows that the trend of digital payments is growing rapidly.
