Eithad Airways and Azul Brazilian Airlines have launched a frequent flyer partnership agreement on 30 July.
Mutual Benefits for Frequent Flyers
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and Azul Brazilian Airlines, a Brazilian airline based in Barueri, have announced a new loyalty partnership agreement.
The new agreement will enable members of both airlines, who are already enrolled in the Etihad Guest and Azul Fidelidade programmes, to earn and redeem loyalty points on either airline.
Expanded Rewards and Travel Perks
The partnership will offer interchange and extensive access for members of both airline frequent flyer programmes, Etihad Guest and the Azul Fidelidade programme, to redeem their loyalty currency in various products and travel essentials, including car rentals and hotel stays.
For instance, members of Etihad Guest can spend their loyalty points on flights, worldwide hotel stays and holidays or redeem products from the Etihad Guest Reward Shop.
Members of Azul Fidelidade programme can use their miles on hotel stays, car rentals, products and services at Azul Fidelidade Shopping.
New Horizons for Global Travellers
With the extensive access to frequent flyer partnerships, it also transformed the way that members experience the world.
For instance, the partnership opened 137 Brazilian destinations for Etihad Guest. Members can discover Brazil’s cultural capitals, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Curaçao, by using their loyalty currency, creating and opening new possibilities for travel to travel and discovering the Americas.
For Azul Fidelidade members, the partnership enabled them to access Etihad’s rapidly expanding network. Members can redeem their miles to explore various Asia emerging destinations, such as Krabi’s pristine beaches, Phnom Penh’s vibrant night markets, or the bustling energy of Taipei.
Mark Potter, Managing Director Etihad Guest, said:
“Signing this frequent flyer agreement with Azul Brazilian Airlines is both exciting and significant for Etihad Guest. We also look forward to welcoming Azul Fidelidade members onboard Etihad Airways, showcasing our signature Emirati hospitality and offering them the ability to earn or redeem their miles when they choose to travel across our rapidly expanding global network, also bringing more people to our home in Abu Dhabi.”
Cristina Yoshida, Director of Azul Fidelidade, Azul Brazilian Airlines, said:
“We are very excited to open the door for our customers to explore the extraordinary destinations offered by Etihad Airways in the Middle East and Asia, while also welcoming new members eager to discover Brazil. This partnership reinforces Azul’s commitment to offering more global benefits in collaboration with companies recognised for excellence in service and customer experience.”
