How can airlines embed financial services (BNPL, insurance, FX payouts, identity) directly into the booking and travel experience to capture ancillary revenue?

The story

The evidence does not resolve to a single named airline company — search results returned pages about Spirit Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Qatar Airways, JetBlue, and generic airline industry content. No single-company profile can be constructed with confidence. The embedded finance signals collected represent patterns across the airline sector rather than one specific carrier.
