Etihad Airways and Azul Brazilian Airlines Announce Loyalty Partnership

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and Azul Brazilian Airlines have announced a new frequent flyer partnership. The collaboration allows members of both Etihad Guest and Azul Fidelidade to earn and redeem loyalty miles on each other's airlines.

Etihad Guest members can now utilise their miles for flights, worldwide hotel stays, holidays, or shop from a range of products via the Etihad Guest Reward Shop. Meanwhile, Azul Fidelidade members can spend their miles on hotel bookings, car rentals, and various services at Azul Fidelidade Shopping.

Mark Potter, Managing Director Etihad Guest, said, “Signing this frequent flyer agreement with Azul Brazilian Airlines is both exciting and significant for Etihad Guest. The partnership opens up Azul’s impressive network for our members to be rewarded for their travel adventures, offering more ways to earn and redeem their miles when exploring destinations across the Americas. 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.”

The agreement also unlocks Azul's routes to popular destinations like Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Curaçao, creating new possibilities for onwards travel throughout the Americas."
