Air Arabia accepting crypto payments for flight bookings

Monday, 26 May, 2025 0

Air Arabia will soon begin accepting crypto payments for flight bookings.

It will be the first airline in the region offering stablecoin-based payments.

To facilitate it, Air Arabia partnered with Al Maryah Community Bank  which is the UAE’s first fully integrated digital bank.

It will allow for AE Coin payments for flight bookings via the AEC Wallet App.

“We are proud to partner with Mbank to introduce AE Coin as a secure and innovative payment option for our customers,” stated Adel Al Ali, group CEO of Air Arabia.

“We are committed to embracing digitalization across our operations, and this partnership reflects our efforts to enhance our customer experience through tech.”

As the UAE’s first AED-backed stablecoin, AE Coin has pegged parity with the UAE Dirham.

Air Arabia’s customers can select the AEC Wallet at checkout when booking on the airline’s website.
