Emirates, one of the world’s largest airlines based in Dubai, will accept Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payments for flights through a partnership with Crypto.com. The agreement, formalized through a memorandum of understanding signed on July 9, 2025, integrates Crypto.com Pay as a payment method for flights and travel services, with potential support for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

As of July 2026, the technical integration process is still ongoing and no official launch date has been confirmed by either party.
