Air Europa has tested NFT tickets, do they have a future or are they a fad?

In mid-April, Air Europa announced its first series of airline tickets in history in NFT ( non-fungible token ) format, also called NFTickets.

“At Air Europa we join this emerging technological trend that is revolutionizing the industry, including ticketing , by signing an agreement with TravelX, the company that has developed the first technology-based distribution protocol in the tourism sector. blockchain ,” Globalia’s airline said in a statement.

These NFTickets , in the words of the Hidalgo family company, are a new type of NFT that combine digital information with experiences and services . Not only did it become a new channel for the sale of airline tickets, but also a new form of payment.

“Innovation is in our DNA. We have been pioneers in the implementation of new technologies in our sector and it was not going to be something different in the case of NFTs, which could represent the next great leap in the world of tourism”, pointed out Bernardo Botella, director of global sales at the time of the airline.
