The 2026 edition of the Airline & Travel Payments Summit 2026 returns to Dublin with a co-located format alongside the Mega Event 2026, bringing together airline, travel, loyalty, payments and fraud professionals under one roof. Hosted at the Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport, the event will explore the future of travel payments, fraud prevention, loyalty security, ancillary revenue and Agentic AI in commerce.
ATPS 2026 combines expertise from the payments, fraud, loyalty marketing and ancillary revenue sectors, allowing delegates to move between conference tracks and gain insights across multiple areas of the travel ecosystem. The event also includes the concurrent Loyalty Security Alliance (LSA) Spring Event 2026, focused on loyalty fraud, account takeovers and customer data protection.
A major theme for 2026 is the rise of Agentic AI and a-commerce in airline and travel operations. Sessions will examine how AI-driven commerce is changing payment standards, customer journeys, fraud detection and fraud tactics. Industry experts will discuss how Agentic Commerce may affect conversion rates, loyalty programmes, co-branded credit cards, ancillary sales and operational workflows across airlines, hotels and online travel agencies.
The conference agenda will cover topics including PSD2, PCI DSS 4.0, payment acceptance, B2B payments, loyalty fraud prevention, alternative payment methods, account takeover mitigation, payment standards for Agentic Commerce, bots in e-commerce, fraud management strategies and the growing use of AI by both fraud teams and cybercriminals.
ATPS 2026 is designed for senior travel industry professionals responsible for payments, fraud prevention, loyalty programmes, ancillary revenue and commercial strategy. Expected attendees include airline payment leaders, fraud and risk managers, loyalty programme directors, ancillary revenue specialists, fintech providers, hotels and OTAs seeking practical strategies to improve security, customer experience and revenue performance.
Delegates attending ATPS 2026 will also have access to sessions from Mega Event 2026, which focuses on loyalty programmes, co-branded credit cards, ancillary revenue and the business impact of AI-powered commerce in travel. The combined format creates opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing and collaboration across the airline and travel payments ecosystem.
The event will feature case studies, panel discussions and practical use cases from companies already implementing AI and a-commerce technologies in travel. Organisers say the 2026 programme will focus on real-world implementation and operational challenges rather than theoretical discussions about AI adoption.
Professionals interested in travel payments, airline fraud prevention, loyalty security, Agentic AI, ancillary revenue growth and a-commerce trends can expect discussions on the technologies and standards shaping the future of airline and travel commerce.
