Etihad Airways has extended BusinessConnect, its
loyalty program for businesses, to 11 new markets including
Bahrain, Belarus, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Nepal, the
Netherlands, Oman, Philippines, Qatar and Thailand.
The
mileage earning program is targeted at the Small to Medium-Sized
Enterprise (SME) sector, offering benefits for companies who fly
with Etihad Airways.
As part of the Etihad Guest
loyalty program, registered BusinessConnect customers are able to
earn Etihad Guest Miles every time one of their employees takes a
flight.
Etihad Guest Miles can be earned on all
Etihad Airways tickets booked on etihad.com, through Etihad
Contact Centres, or by appointed travel agents.
There are also no blackout periods when redeeming miles against
upgrades, free flights, or the thousands of products from the
Etihad Guest Reward Shop. The points can even be converted to cash
via PointsPay to spend at 30 million outlets worldwide.
Etihad Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer, Peter
Baumgartner, said, “BusinessConnect is the smartest and most
rewarding loyalty scheme for SMEs. It’s a
fantastic way for companies to optimise their travel spend, whilst
adding convenience and value to the business and corporate travel
experience. In short, it makes business sense all round.”
