Emirates now lets UAE residents pay for flights using Crypto.com wallets via its website and app. The feature, live since July 2026, is limited to AED transactions. It’s part of Dubai’s push for 90% digital financial activity by year-end.
Eligible UAE residents can select Crypto.com Pay during checkout on emirates.com or the Emirates App. Desktop users scan a QR code; mobile users switch to the Crypto.com app to authorize payment.
