Emirates Airline has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com to integrate cryptocurrency payments for flight bookings and services. The agreement, announced by Emirates Group Chairman and involving Dubai Duty Free, aims to enable customers to pay for flights using Bitcoin and other digital currencies. This integration is expected to launch next year as part of the UAE's broader initiative to lead in digital finance. Emirates targets younger, tech-savvy travelers who prefer digital currencies, positioning itself among the first major global airlines to accept cryptocurrency payments. The move reflects a growing trend of adoption of digital assets in the travel industry and marks a significant step toward Web3 adoption in global travel.
