PLANES, TRAINS AND BITCOIN: UATP PARTNERSHIP MEANS AMTRAK AND 260 AIRLINES CAN NOW ACCEPT BITCOIN

By Gerrard Hartley

Through a critical partnership between UATP and Bitnet, 260 airlines along with Amtrak railways can incorporate bitcoin payments on their platforms.
In a press release, UATP president and CEO Ralph Kaiser expressed excitement for the ground-breaking travel partnership, showing immense support for Bitnet.
“We are very happy to be partnering with Bitnet to add bitcoin to our payment platform. We are always looking for skilled partners to bring additional forms of payment to the UATP processing platform and Bitnet fits the bill well.”
UATP, also known as Universal Air Travel Plan, decided that bitcoin integration was an important venture, so they teamed up with Bitnet and announced the implications today. UATP is a payment processor that’s privately-owned by airlines themselves.
