Etihad Airways expands loyalty programme for NFT holders: Stake NFTs for airline miles and exclusive perks

Etihad Airways, the UAE’s flagship carrier, is expanding its loyalty and rewards programme for customers and NFT holders by offering the ability to “stake” or lock NFTs in exchange for air miles.
