Emirates has officially integrated Crypto com Pay, allowing eligible UAE customers to book flights using cryptocurrency through the airline's website and mobile app.

Users can now select Crypto com Pay at checkout, approve the transaction via the Crypto com app or by scanning a QR code, with payments securely settled in UAE Dirhams (AED) in compliance with local regulations.

The rollout follows a partnership announced in 2025 and is powered by Crypto com's Dubai entity, the first Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE to operate under the country's Stored Value Facilities framework.

The integration supports the Dubai Cashless Strategy, which aims for 90% of all financial transactions across the public and private sectors to be digital by the end of 2026, further strengthening the UAE's position as a global fintech and digital asset hub.
