Mexico's TAR First Latin American Airline to Accept Bitcoin

Quote
Mexico-based airlines TAR Aerolineas has become the first in Latin America to accept bitcoin payments.

The airliner will accept payments in the digital currency following a partnership between Openpay – a Mexico-based payment service provider – and payment processor BitPay.

In a statement, Jose Calzadias, commercial manager at TAR, said that the company, which serves 12 destinations throughout Mexico, would continue to evaluate payment options that give "real added value" to customers.

Great news. This will take off in mexico, I hear btc is very popular with the cartels and im sure they will use some of their btc to fly around the world. I would.
Well, if I was them I would. I wonder if we have any Mexicans in here who are planning on using TAR with btc in the future.
I guess we'll soon see.
I bet there are.

Where are you Mexicans on this forum anyway.
