Emirates Enables Cryptocurrency Payments for Flight Bookings via Crypto.com Pay
Emirates has introduced Crypto.com Pay as a payment option on its website and mobile app, enabling eligible UAE residents to book flights using cryptocurrency. This service supports payments settled in Emirati Dirham (AED) and is part of Dubai's cashless economy initiative. Customers with a Crypto.com account can select this option during checkout, approve payments via the Crypto.com app, and receive immediate booking confirmation and e-tickets. The integration follows a partnership announced in July 2025 between Emirates and Crypto.com.
