Emirates Airlines is racing against other airlines around the world in preparing for its first launch in the virtual metaverse. Indeed, work is currently underway behind the scenes of the company to launch its non-fungible tokens (NFT’s), as they are scheduled to be launched in the coming months at the latest.

What is Emirates planning?

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline and Group, said: “The United Arab Emirates is moving forward in establishing the digital economy. With an ambitious vision and practical frameworks to enter into areas such as: virtual digital assets, artificial intelligence, and data protection.” He added: “We are excited about the new frontiers in the digital metaverse.

We have allocated significant investments in the financial fields with the aim of developing products and services using the latest technologies that will generate revenues, develop the brand experience and increase business efficiency.” Emirates Airlines continues to plan with its partners to develop its strategy for Web3 and Metaverse. In addition to hiring the best talent for its projects.

What is web 3? Web 3.0 (Web 3.0) is the next version of the Internet. It is a decentralized internet that runs on the blockchain network.

Through it, all cryptocurrency transactions and other virtual services take place. Emirates Virtual Reality Project Emirates Airlines has been implementing virtual reality technology for more than 5 years. This vision comes as an extension of previous projects to interact with customers through virtual reality technology.

Through virtual reality technology, customers have the experience of seeing the plane in 3D, and knowing their seats before traveling through the use of a 3D seat map. As well as booking their favorite seats in a 3D environment that is compatible with all devices without the need for additional components. Last year, Emirates Airlines launched its own VR application on the Oculus store.

This provides users with practical experiences of flying on an A380 and a Boeing 777-300ER Gamechanger. Through this virtual experience, users can consume drinks and food from the special salon on the plane. Or take a shower in the bathroom space.

Or even enter the cockpit with the pilot. It is worth noting that the virtual reality trip called “The Future of Commercial Aviation,” which displays the interior spaces inside future aircraft, has attracted many customers at the Emirates Pavilion during Expo 2020 in Dubai.
