NETOPIA Payments defends its decision to withhold ticket sales revenue from Dan Air, citing contractual agreements aimed at protecting passengers seeking refunds for canceled flights. This response follows Dan Air's insolvency filing and accusations against NETOPIA for blocking payments. NETOPIA emphasizes that the measures are based on a 2023 agreement recognizing the high risk of chargebacks in air transport. The withheld funds are kept in special accounts to ensure passenger refunds, regardless of Dan Air's financial status. NETOPIA states it is open to court decisions and has engaged in discussions with Dan Air to find a solution. Dan Air claims the withheld amount exceeds €850,000, which is crucial for its operations, and has sought legal action to compel NETOPIA to release the funds.
