Emirates Airlines, Crypto.com Partner To Accept Bitcoin Payments

Emirates Airlines has taken a bold step to integrate crypto for flight payments. To achieve this rare feat, the airline giant has signed an agreement with Crypto.com exchange to use its crypto payment service, Crypto.com Pay.

Both Crypto.com and Emirates stand to benefit from the integration. While Crypto.com would gain more exposure, Emirates is poised to expand the use case for blockchain.
