BTN. AirPlus president and CEO Ron DiLeo said
the company plans to make the v-card solution, which is powered by MasterCard,
available in the United States in about six months. "It will change the
way business is done, especially in the meetings and events space," DiLeo
said. The company is waiting on certain U.S.-specific regulation approvals,
said Volker Huber, AirPlus president of the Americas, Asia/Pacific and global
