Utrust, a blockchain-powered payment technology that enables online businesses to accept cryptos, announced its collaboration with the travel industry, Alternative Airlines, their first merchant to allow its users to pay via cryptocurrencies. Reported on October 13 via Utrust's blog post, Utrust's mission is to encourage the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, making it easy for people to utilize it on their daily activities. The company is not far from actualizing its mission since this collaboration with Alternative Airlines will make it possible for their customers to pay from flights using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), DASH, DigiByte (DGB) and UTK, Utrust's coin.
This partnership will help to expand the reach of Utrust and would also help the company to get the best and trusted merchants they ever wanted. Now merchants quickly and conveniently book their flights to any known locations in the world with cryptos.
On this, Nuno Correia, the CEO of Utrust, said:
“For business or leisure, flight travel can be expensive with consumers saving for months to afford a trip. Considered a high ticket item, it is imperative that consumers are protected when booking flights. Utrust is providing Alternative Airlines’ customers with the increased security and convenience of cryptocurrency payments, and reducing processing fees, to bring greater transparency and trust to the world of online payments.”
Utrust believes that their catch is impressive given that Alternative Airlines provide their available customers, over 650 carriers, with the most varied, complete and exciting service. The company also provides services for flights across smaller, regional, and national airlines at competitively reasonable prices. The company also works with major airlines, such as United, Delta, British Airways, Virgin, and Emirates.
