Volaris in El Salvador set to accept bitcoin – Reuters
SAN SALVADOR, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Low-cost airline Volaris will accept bitcoin in El Salvador, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said Tuesday.
"This allows us to increase the offering of flights for Salvadorans, in addition to being the first airline in the world to accept bitcoin and of course Chivo wallet," Bukele said in comments at a Volaris event shared on Twitter by the official account for the president's office.
Some other carriers, including Mexico's TAR Airlines in 2015, have previously announced they would accept bitcoin.
