Emirates Airlines Begins Accepting Cryptocurrency for Flight Tickets

Emirates airline has launched a service for purchasing flight tickets using cryptocurrency via Crypto.com Pay. The new payment method is available to residents of the United Arab Emirates through Emirates' official website and mobile app. Transactions are settled in UAE dirhams (AED). This initiative, stemming from a July 2025 memorandum of understanding, offers two payment methods: via the Emirates app, which redirects users to their crypto wallet for confirmation, or by scanning a QR code on the Emirates website with the Crypto.com app. The integration is facilitated through Crypto.com's Dubai unit, which holds a license from the UAE Central Bank. Emirates leadership stated the move expands customer payment options and caters to digitally savvy, younger generations. It also aligns with Dubai's Cashless Strategy, aiming to digitize 90% of all financial transactions by year-end as part of the D33 economic program. The article further notes regulatory context, referencing a framework issued in April by Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) that categorizes token issuance, requiring full licensing and 100% reserves for fiat-backed stablecoins.
