Multiple airlines in the United Arab Emirates support cryptocurrency payment for ticket purchases According to Golden Finance, airlines such as Emirates Airlines and Arabian Airlines have partnered with platforms such as Crypto.com to support payment of airfare fees using Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. Passengers can make reservations through cryptocurrency friendly platforms such as Travala, and settle directly using cryptocurrency wallets or purchase gift cards for payment. The regulatory framework promoted by Dubai Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) provides support for encrypted payments. Data shows that from 2023 to 2024, the number of encrypted flight bookings will increase by 46%, and stablecoins will be more favored by merchants due to their stable prices.
