UAE: Etihad Airways announces first NFT collection
Etihad Airways has announced its first non-fungible token (NFT) collection. The collection, called EY-Zero1, will have 10 detailed 3D aircraft models, with each one featuring a different Etihad Boeing 787 Dreamliner livery.
A total of 2003 limited-edition collectibles, symbolising the year when Etihad Airways was established, will go on sale at 6pm UAE time on July 21, Etihad said on Wednesday. Purchasers of an Etihad NFT will be granted Etihad Guest Silver tier membership for a year, while 10 NFT holders will win flight tickets.
Etihad said it will be giving away 20 NFTs to people who preregister on etihad.com/zero1 by July 16. Each NFT will be priced at $349 plus tax on etihad.arcube.io, and the sale will close on August 18 at 6pm UAE time.
EY-Zero1 is set to be minted on the Polygon blockchain, and Etihad Airways will enter into partnership with Aerial.is to track the carbon dioxide emissions of the NFTs.
