Travellers flying through Dubai may soon be able to book flights and shop duty-free using cryptocurrency, thanks to two newly signed agreements between Emirates Airline, Dubai Duty Free, and global digital asset platform Crypto.com.

Dubai Duty Free is exploring the option to enable crypto payments both in-store and online, while Emirates is working to integrate cryptocurrency directly into its flight booking systems. Though still in the planning stages, the shift reflects a broader push across the UAE to normalise crypto transactions in everyday experiences—travel included.

Once implemented, the move could reshape the airport experience entirely—offering travellers greater flexibility in how, and where, they spend.
