Emirates Airline has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Crypto.com to explore the integration of Crypto.com Pay as a payment option for its customers. The agreement was formalized in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline & Group, and Michael Doersam, Emirates’ Chief Financial & Group Services Officer. The MoU was signed by Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, and Mohammed Al Hakim, President of Crypto.com's UAE operations.
