Air New Zealand is branching out from aviation. Together with One NZ, it is launching travel eSIMs and domestic monthly mobile plans under its own brand. It follows a trial earlier this year: eligible passengers bought a data-only eSIM for $1, with 50GB, valid in 11 destinations including Australia, Japan, the USA and Canada.

Why would an airline sell mobile data? Because it already owns the moment the traveler needs it: the booking, the check-in, the flight.

The traveler buys data on every trip

Holafly's Global eSIM & Travel Report 2026–2027, released on November 11, surveyed 5,220 international travelers in 13 countries. 29% now use an eSIM as their main source of mobile data abroad, up from 17% in 2025. 75% plan at least two international trips in 2027.

That spend is moving to the brands that already own the trip: airlines, travel agencies, loyalty programs and, more and more, banks.

Sell data under your brand, without becoming an operator

US Matrix eSIM gives you the profiles, the networks and the platform. You decide what to sell and to whom, and you keep the customer:

• Coverage in 180+ countries, with multiple data providers.
• Your packages and your prices: data amount, validity and countries are your choice.
• Several networks on one profile, so customers stay connected when one network is weak.
• Zero-touch provisioning of eSIM profiles.
• B2C, B2B or white-label models, plus IoT management for connected devices.
• REST API and web portal.

Who it is for

Travel brands and agencies, airlines and loyalty programs, telecom resellers, IoT and fleet companies, and enterprises with traveling teams.

From idea to launch in five steps

1. Tell us who your customers are and where they travel.
2. Create your packages: data, validity, countries and prices.
3. Integrate your store or app through the API, or sell from the web portal.
4. Test activation and data on real devices.
5. Launch, with 24x7 support.

Your customers will buy data on their next trip. The only question is whose name is on the QR code.
