CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Cointelegraph, airlines such as Emirates and Arabian Airlines have partnered with platforms like Crypto.com to support Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoin payments for ticket purchases. Travelers can make reservations through crypto-friendly platforms like Travala, settling directly with a cryptocurrency wallet or purchasing gift cards for payment.
The regulatory framework promoted by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) supports crypto payments. Data shows that the volume of crypto ticket bookings is expected to grow by 46% from 2023 to 2024, with stablecoins being favored by merchants due to their price stability. [Original link]
