Nearly 66 million passengers travel through Los Angeles International Airport annually. But for transportation to and from the City of Angels, travelers can remain in the clouds. 

That’s because an airport shuttle called the Los Angeles FlyAway offers a contactless, tap-on-phone payment option, powered by the cloud and piloted by Mastercard beginning in 2021. “There are a lot of features that cloud commerce can help merchants with,” says George Maddaloni, executive vice president and chief technology officer of operations at Mastercard.
