Nuvion and JetPay Partner to Modernize Aviation Payments

A private charter flight might be arranged in London, managed from Dubai, refueled in Nice, and funded by a customer in New York. Despite operating in a highly interconnected global environment, many aviation companies still depend on traditional payment systems that can take several days to process international transactions. Nuvion and JetPay are working to transform that reality.

Nuvion, an AI-driven global banking and cross-border payments platform that leverages both fiat currencies and stablecoins for businesses and fintech organizations, has announced a strategic partnership with JetPay (formerly Jet Link), a fintech solution specifically designed for private aviation operators and air charter brokers. The collaboration aims to provide advanced financial infrastructure tailored to the aviation sector.

By combining JetPay’s aviation-centric operational platform with Nuvion’s global payments and treasury capabilities, the partnership offers aviation companies a more efficient way to handle international payments, supplier settlements, and treasury management within a unified ecosystem.

As private aviation continues to expand internationally, operators and brokers are increasingly challenged by cross-border payments, vendor settlements, aircraft-related expenses, and treasury operations across multiple regions. Through this alliance, JetPay clients will gain access to financial tools designed to simplify and streamline global business operations.

Key benefits of the partnership include:

Global multi-currency accounts for aviation operators and charter brokers
Accelerated international payments to suppliers, crew members, service providers, and business partners
Stablecoin-powered settlement options for worldwide transactions
Embedded financial services integrated directly into aviation workflows
Simplified treasury and payment management across different jurisdictions

With Nuvion’s regulated financial infrastructure embedded into the JetPay platform, aviation businesses can access modern banking, payment, and treasury solutions without the burden of maintaining multiple banking relationships or navigating fragmented financial systems.

“This partnership marks a major step forward in financial infrastructure for the aviation industry,” said Keisha Clark, Managing Director of Nuvion.

“While private aviation operates on a global scale, the financial systems supporting it have not kept pace. Together with JetPay, we are creating a smoother, faster way for operators and brokers to move funds internationally.”

Gabriel Madrid, Chief Aviation Officer at JetPay, added, “JetPay was created to modernize the operational framework of private aviation by making payments faster and more efficient. Through our collaboration with Nuvion, we are extending that innovation to financial services, enabling passengers, brokers, and operators to expand globally with intelligent, always-on payment capabilities.”

From paying for fuel in Europe and compensating crews in the Middle East to receiving customer payments from North America, aviation businesses can now manage global financial transactions through a single integrated platform.

The partnership underscores Nuvion’s vision that companies operating internationally should be able to transfer money across borders with the same ease and speed that they conduct business worldwide.

American Airlines makes strategic equity investment in Universal Hydrogen Co

Green hydrogen has the potential to be a game changer in the aviation industry’s pathway to net zero GHG emissions by 2050.

American Airlines recently announced a strategic equity investment in Universal Hydrogen Co., which is developing a green hydrogen distribution and logistics network for the aviation industry.

The investment supports the United States' science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2035, with the ultimate goal of achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050. With this investment, American becomes the first airline in the United States to make two direct investments in the development of both hydrogen-electric propulsion technology and the future of hydrogen distribution logistics.

The fuel distribution network of Universal Hydrogen uses modular hydrogen capsules that are handled like cargo, eliminating the need for new fueling infrastructure at airports and speeding up fuel loading operations. Universal Hydrogen expects to begin delivering hydrogen to regional aircraft in 2025, with plans to expand to larger, single aisle aircraft — first for auxiliary power in the late 2020s, then as a primary fuel by the mid-2030s. Because these segments account for two-thirds of aviation emissions, and green hydrogen is a true zero-carbon fuel, these advancements put aviation on track to meet Paris Agreement emissions targets.

“This technology has the potential to be a game-changer on the industry’s path to zero-emission flight,” said American’s Chief Financial Officer Derek Kerr. “As the world’s largest airline, American has a responsibility to exercise leadership in making aviation sustainable. Our investment in Universal Hydrogen represents a vote of confidence for green hydrogen as a key element of a sustainable future for our industry.”

The development marks American joining its peers including Airbus Ventures, GE Aviation and Toyota Ventures, along with several major hydrogen producers and aircraft lessors, as strategic investors in Universal Hydrogen.

“Together with our investors, we are putting together the end-to-end value chain to make hydrogen aviation a near-term commercial reality,” said Paul Eremenko, co-founder and CEO of Universal Hydrogen. “This move by American is a strong signal that customers want a true zero-emissions solution for passenger aviation and are willing to back tangible, pragmatic steps to get there quickly.”
