Sure. The airplane mode actually switches the cellular and Bluetooth off, sometimes also Wi-Fi. But the transit cards and payment cards are always on for tap.

If you switch the card on for the express mode. You can even use the card when your iPhone needs to be charged and enough power in the battery for express transactions.😏
