According to a recent statement from Air Europa, the company is collaborating with TravelX and Algorand. TravelX is the first blockchain-based transportation distribution protocol. On the other hand, Algorand is one of the most environmentally friendly and carbon-negative blockchain networks. The Air Europa NFTs will be issued on the Algorand blockchain, where TravelX will handle the integrating factor of the current world of transportation with the blockchain. These three companies are now planning to write a new chapter in transportation history.
