Emirates Airlines is preparing to launch a Bitcoin payment option within its digital system in the coming weeks, making it part of the multiple payment options available to travelers. Emirates Airlines Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim confirmed that the company is currently working on the legal and technical aspects with Crypto.com platform, and the practical implementation of the service will be announced soon in the coming weeks. Kazim told 'Emirates Today' that Bitcoin payment will focus on booking tickets and accompanying services such as seat upgrades and baggage through the airline's website, explaining that this step comes as part of the company's policy to provide more flexibility and options for its customers. He added: 'We currently have about 7 payment options, and Bitcoin will be part of these options.' This step is part of the airline's strategy to expand payment options. We are keeping up with the change and striving to provide innovative solutions that align with Dubai's vision to be at the forefront of financial innovation in the world. This initiative comes after Emirates Airlines signed a memorandum of understanding with Crypto.com last year, where ways to integrate the service into the airline's payment systems were explored.
