Emirates, national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has announced its plans to add Bitcoin as a payment service.

Speaking at the Arabian Travel Market, Adel Ahmed Al-Redha, Emirates’ chief operating officer, said the airline will recruit additional workers for metaverse and NFTs to build apps to monitor consumer demands.
He said that NFT and metaverse are two different approaches.
He added that the airline would utilise blockchain technology to trace aircraft records.
“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,” Arab News quoted him as saying.
