Despite the moderate performance of the top 10 Cryptocurrencies, the crypto world has achieved considerable success in the use of cryptocurrency as a payment mode to buy commodities and services. In the row of adoption of cryptocurrencies for payment, the biggest airline of Europe, Norwegian Air, plans to accept the digital currencies as a payment medium for booking for the flight in the near future. 

Norwegian Air is one of the largest airlines in Scandinavia and serves frequent domestic as well as international flights. This airline company has tied up with the Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX) to implement crypto payment for the flight booking. The NBX CEO, Stig Kjos-Mathisen revealed this news in an interview with a local news agency.  

The NBX has developed the payment infrastructure successfully completed the beta phase, and the integration is expected to take place in March 2020. After the successful rollout of this new payment system, the travelers will be able to buy a flight ticket using cryptocurrencies. Although the name of available digital currency for payment is not yet disclosed, the Bitcoin is expected to be in the list as well as a favored currency for the crypto payments.

A leading Norwegian bank, Spare bank, is investing the required capital to support this initiative. This bank has invested a $1.6 Million in the development of this crypto exchange back in September 2019.
