Emirates and Garuda Indonesia have launched a joint loyalty programme offering allowing Emirates Skywards and GarudaMiles members to earn and redeem miles while travelling across a combined network of more than 200 destinations. The two carriers launched a codeshare agreement in 2022 and have since expanded their partnership to offer loyalty programme members more destinations, more Miles, and more rewards.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer: “At Emirates Skywards, we’re always exploring new ways to offer more choice, value, and opportunities for our members. Our exciting new partnership with Garuda Indonesia will bring significant benefits to both Skywards and GarudaMiles members. This strategic collaboration aligns with Skywards’ vision of creating a truly global loyalty experience for our members worldwide. It will open new doors for frequent flyers to earn and redeem miles across our combined networks, while also expanding our renowned loyalty offering in Southeast Asia. We look forward to growing this partnership and delivering even greater value to our members.”
Wamildan Tsani Panjaitan, President & CEO Garuda Indonesia, explained: “We are thrilled to present this enhanced value partnership for both Garuda Indonesia and Emirates loyal passengers. With this new joint loyalty programme, Garuda Indonesia represents its commitment to always deliver exciting offers to our GarudaMiles members while adding more benefits for Skywards members. Giving more opportunities to earn and redeem miles seamlessly across both networks globally, this initiative will unlock more destinations for our members, particularly Skywards members to explore the magnificent scenic landscape and vary of cultural richness and diversity in Indonesia through Garuda Indonesia domestic flights. GarudaMiles members, on the other hand, may enjoy stunning international cities with Emirates’ large connectivity. As part of our vision to connect the world with Indonesia, we are confident that this partnership will further amplify our efforts to deliver value, excellence, and innovation in every journey. We look forward to welcoming our passengers to enjoy the many benefits that this collaboration brings, as we continue to redefine the standards of modern travel.”
