Emirates Airline partners with Crypto.com to accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for flight bookings, starting by late 2025.
The initiative aims to cater to younger, digital-first travelers who prefer crypto payments and aligns with Dubai's innovation goals.
Cryptocurrency payments will be processed through Crypto.com Pay, converting them to UAE Dirhams at the point of sale, with no crypto holdings by Emirates.
Emirates and Crypto.com plan joint promotions to promote crypto payments, part of Dubai's broader crypto adoption strategy within various sectors.
