MoMo Uganda Enhances Digital Services with Integrated Flight Booking Solution
The service enables customers to search, compare, and book flights directly through the MoMo platform, offering a more convenient and seamless travel booking experience.
MoMo from MTN Uganda has unveiled Travel By MoMo, a new digital travel booking platform developed in partnership with Next Travel and global travel technology provider Amadeus. The service enables customers to search, compare, and book flights directly through the MoMo platform, offering a more convenient and seamless travel booking experience.
The launch reflects MoMo’s continued expansion beyond digital payments into a broader digital ecosystem designed to simplify everyday services for customers. Speaking at the launch, MoMo Uganda Managing Director Phrase Lubega said the company remains committed to creating solutions that address everyday challenges while opening up new opportunities for more people. He noted that this customer-focused approach has driven MoMo’s evolution from a mobile payments platform into a comprehensive digital services provider.
MoMo Uganda Chief Product Officer Jemima Kariuki-Njuguna explained that Travel By MoMo was designed with the needs of Ugandan travellers in mind. The platform allows users to compare flight options from different airlines, view fares in Uganda Shillings, and complete payments through the familiar and trusted MoMo platform, making the booking process simpler and more accessible.
The launch event brought together industry stakeholders, partners, media representatives, and customers to celebrate the collaboration and its potential to expand access to digital travel services across Uganda. By combining Amadeus’ global travel technology with Next Travel’s expertise and MoMo’s digital payment infrastructure, the platform offers customers access to international flight options through a locally tailored booking experience.
The new service is expected to benefit a wide range of travellers, including those travelling for business, education, family visits, trade, or leisure. Customers can now access and book flights conveniently through the MoMo App, further strengthening MoMo’s position as a one-stop digital platform for financial and lifestyle services.
