Budget airline, Norwegian Air will soon accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as payment for flights.

According to a report in Yahoo Finance and other cryptocurrency news websites, the European airline will roll out the service in August to passengers living in Norway. However, in the coming months it plans to offer the service to passengers in neighbouring countries.

The service will be made possible via the airline's Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX). It also plans to use the exchange to integrate its existing rewards program, which will allow its customers to earn points by trading on the exchange. Passengers can then swap these points for discounts on tickets and other perks.
