Emirates Airlines has joined a rising list of companies set to accept Bitcoin as a payment option for their services.
The company’s Chief Operating Officer, Adel Al-Redha, revealed this in a statement.
He suggested that the company might have to recruit employees to assist it in creating applications that would monitor customer needs.
Additionally, he explained the differences between NFTs and the metaverse.
According to Bitcoin.com, he stated, “NFTs and metaverse are two different applications and approaches. With the metaverse, you will be able to transform your whole processes — whether it is in operation, training, sales on the website, or complete experience — into a metaverse type application, but more importantly making it interactive.”
The company said it would also add non-fungible token collectibles on its webpage.
Al-Redha did not give an exact date as to when the airline would launch its BTC payment service. This report is coming weeks after the airline announced its NFT and metaverse plans. According to the company, its goal with its metaverse launch was to ensure it aligned with the UAE’s vision for the digital economy.
