Singapore Airlines to Embrace Cryptocurrency

Date:

The first airline to fly the A380 commercially is now also the first to implement Kryptocurrencies cryptocurrencies into their frequent flyer platform.

Singapore Airlines is releasing their own blockchain wallet called the KrisApp where you can spend your Krisflyer miles easily.

“I think we are the first airline to do it,” said Goh Choon Phong, the airline’s chief executive at the Singapore Airshow Aviation Leadership Summit, according to Reuters. The blockchain technology will first be available for use by its partners and vendors. Singapore Airlines intend to roll it out to their retail partners as well.

Two other airlines, Air New Zealand and Lufthansa, have also started building travel apps using blockchain technology within the last year.

Flight Review: CX439 Airbus 321NEO New Business Class ICN-HKG

Flew Cathay Pacific's new business class on their A321Neo (adorable "mini racoon" nickname?). Huge upgrade from their older domestic seats! The wider, comfy seats impressed me. But the star was the recline. Unlike some airlines (think budget carriers), it wasn't just a footrest and lean back. This seat reclined like a rocking chair, distributing weight evenly and giving great back support – perfect for shorter flights!
