About 20% of private jet users would prefer to pay with cryptocurrency, especially among young millionaires, where over 80% hold crypto assets.

Plus, people who travel are more likely to own crypto. 11% of those who travelled less than once annually reported owning Bitcoin compared to 25% of those who travel one to four times annually. And 33% of those who travel five or more times annually also owned Bitcoin. This trend shows that travellers use crypto daily.

Do you want to accept payments from these clients or let them go to other aviation providers?

If you're still unsure [that's a pity], here're things you'll get with accepting cryptocurrencies:

• Faster transactions No waiting days for bank wires to clear, especially for international payments. Great for last-minute charters and bookings where time is everything.

• Global market No borders. Clients from anywhere can pay in seconds without fuss with currency conversion, banking hours, or transfer fees.

• Lower fees Credit card fees and international wire fees are much higher than crypto. Crypto cuts down intermediary costs significantly

• Security and transparency Blockchain technology makes transactions secure and traceable. Reduces fraud risk compared to traditional card payments or sketchy wire transfers.

• Appeal to a new customer segment Wealthy crypto holders — like young millionaires and entrepreneurs — prefer using their digital assets. Aviation companies accepting crypto are naturally more attractive to this audience.

• Brand iImage and PR Accepting crypto positions a company as forward-thinking and modern. Early adopters (like AirBaltic) got tons of positive media attention without paying for it.

• Ease of large transactions Moving $100,000+ via traditional banking can be slow and suspicious. With crypto, you can transfer high-value payments fast, safely, and without a 10-person compliance department breathing down your neck.

• Future-Proofing Digital payments are growing — not shrinking. Crypto is likely to become even more common in luxury services, private aviation, and global business in general.

Are you ready for takeoff? It's high time to start accepting crypto and lead the way.
