Recent market data shared by Airalo shows that 72% of business travellers and corporate managers in the travel and finance spaces anticipate more business trips this year compared to 2024 [1]. The anticipation of more frequent travel in 2025, accompanied by business travel expenditure in the Middle East reaching $18.1 billion last year and projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% this year [2], makes affordable and high-quality connectivity more important than ever.
Tony Kaldas, Arabia and Africa Partnerships Director at Airalo, commented: 'Staying connected shouldn't be a barrier to global business. With Airalo for Business, we're giving companies a scalable, transparent, and intuitive solution to help their teams stay online across 200+ countries and regions - while helping to reduce the common complexities and costs associated with roaming.'
What makes Airalo for Business stand out is its transparent pricing and intuitive user experience. Businesses can benefit from Airalo's affordable eSIM packages and exclusive business discounts. Each package is purchased at a fixed price with a set data volume, and includes credits for text and voice if needed, ensuring cost control and no unexpected charges.
For larger organizations, the platform supports multi-branch structures and offers advanced reporting features, giving global enterprises granular oversight into spending, usage patterns, and business units. Companies can also take advantage of Single Sign-On (SSO) and SCIM integration, making it easy to onboard employees securely and efficiently across global offices.
The platform's enterprise-grade security is also a major draw for global businesses. Airalo Partners is fully compliant with GDPR, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 Type II standards. This ensures peace of mind for companies handling sensitive employee data and prioritizing robust cybersecurity.
This new offering builds on Airalo's broader mission to reshape global connectivity. For example, travellers from Egypt heading to Dubai have reported savings of up to 300% when using Airalo's eSIM, highlighting the platform's cross-border value. While rates vary from country to country, Airalo's value proposition remains consistent: affordable and reliable connectivity everywhere.
By eliminating hidden charges, roaming fees, and restrictive contracts, Airalo for Business delivers savings of up to 90% compared to traditional mobile plans. These savings free up resources for higher-impact initiatives.
