Air Asia’s revelation about developing its FinTech platform comes at a time when Japanese airline Peach Aviation, a low-cost carrier owned by Japan’s largest airline ANA, became the first in the east Asian nation to accept bitcoin as payment for flight tickets.

The budget airline’s CEO Shinichi Inoue foresees a future wherein travelers will not be required to carry physical cash or cards, for tickets or purchases at the airport.
