[암호화폐]일본의 저가 항공사 비트코인 결제 허용
일본의 저가 항공사인 Peach Aviation은 비트코인(BTC)을 결제로 허용하려는 계획이 지연되었지 취소되지 않았을을 확인했습니다.
peach Aviation은 2017년 5월에 고객이 올해 말까지 비트코인을 결제 수단으로 사용할 수 있다고 발표했습니다. 그러나 2017년 12월 계획은 2018년 3월까지 연기되었습니다.
이 항공사는 새로운 BTC 지불 시스템에 대한 암호화폐 거래소인 BI Tpoint Japan 및 일본 주변 공항에서 비트코인 ATM을 열계획에 대해 파트너십을 맺었습니다. 일본은 2017년 4월 이후 비트코인을 일본에서 합법적인 지불 방법으로 인정했다.
Peach Aviation, a low-cost airline in Japan, has confirmed that their plan to allow Bitcoin (BTC) as payment is only delayed, not cancelled.
Peach Aviation had initially announced in May 2017 that customers would be able to use Bitcoin as a payment method by the end of the year. However, in December 2017, the plan was postponed until March 2018.
The airline had partnered with crypto exchange BITpoint Japan for the new BTC payment system as well as for plans to open Bitcoin ATMs at airports around Japan. Japan has recognized Bitcoin as a legal payment method in the country since April 2017.
Japanese broadcasting corporation NHK World had published an article last week, which has since been removed, that cited Peach Aviation officials questioning the dependability of cryptocurrency after Japanese crypto exchange Coincheck was hacked for $534 mln in NEM, and in light of recent volatility in the markets.
In response to the rumors that Peach Aviation would not follow through with their BTC payment option after the NHK article, the airline denied such a cancellation on their website, stating:
“There have been some reports today on our company retracting its plan to enable airline tickets to be purchased with Bitcoins; however, this is not something that was announced by our company and is not a fact. We are currently considering our start period in aiming to introduce such a service.”
Peach Aviation is not the first to accept Bitcoin as payment for flights. In July 2017, AirBaltic added the option to purchase flights with BTC. Singapore Airlines as recently as today, Feb. 5, announced a Blockchain-based frequent flyer app to be released in August 2018.
