His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, received PayPal's leadership team on May 5, 2025, to discuss opportunities for deepening their collaboration. This builds on a 15-year relationship between the two entities. Emirates currently offers PayPal on emirates.com in 34 countries and has observed a marked increase in customer adoption, usage frequency, and transaction volumes with PayPal over the last year. The discussions aim to further leverage this momentum within the dynamic digital payments landscape. PayPal recently opened its first regional headquarters in Dubai, positioning it to support more consumers and businesses across emerging economies in the Middle East and Africa. This exploration of expanded partnership could lead to new integrated payment solutions for Emirates customers globally.
