March 06, 2025 – Dublin, IE and Valletta, MT: Universal Air, a Maltese airline based in Valletta, has selected MOST, makers of innovative technology for a world on the move, to supply an inflight retail and onboard payments solution as part of their service. MOST has deployed its software and payment peripheral hardware across the entire Universal Air fleet in support of their onboard retail services.

Universal Air has been using MOST technology on their flights since they launched onboard retail as part of the wider airline launch.

“MOST is proud to partner with Universal Air for the launch of their onboard retail program. Helping a new airline during their launch phase by providing a best-in-class retail solution and payment service is always exciting for our team, and it enables the airline to begin generating valuable onboard revenue right from day one,” said MOST CCO James Kelly.

“Over the past few months, we’ve worked closely with MOST to ensure the successful implementation and launch of our onboard retail service.
