Air India has expanded its partnership with Singapore Airlines, by entering into an FFP agreement, in addition to the existing code share and interline arrangements.
The frequent flyer programme members of both airlines will now be able to earn and redeem mileage points on flights operated by each other.
Effectively, it means that members of Air India’s frequent flyer programme Flying Returns will be able to earn mileage points when they travel on Singapore Airlines network, or can choose to redeem their mileage points on Singapore Airlines, which operates to over 65 destinations in 35 countries.
Likewise, members of Singapore Airlines’ frequent flyer programme KrisFlyer, will have the option of using their miles on Air India flights or earning miles when they fly on Air India.
“Air India is pleased to enlarge the scope of its partnership with Singapore Airlines, which will be of immense benefit to the FFP members of the two airlines. Members will now enjoy even greater opportunities of earning and redeeming their mileage, on a single FFP membership card”, says Mr Arvind Jadhav, Chairman and Managing Director, Air India.
