Emirates and Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras S.A (Azul) will add a reciprocal loyalty programme to its current codesharing arrangement.
This initiative extends the 2021 codeshare partnership, opening up further benefits for frequent flyers in both the Emirates Skywards and TudoAzul programmes.
Seamless Network of Rewards
With this partnership, Emirates Skywards and TudoAzul members can now seamlessly earn and redeem Miles across a joint network spanning over 290 destinations worldwide.
The codeshare agreement, initiated to enhance connectivity to and from eight key cities in Brazil through Sao Paulo, has naturally evolved into a robust loyalty programme.
Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President of Emirates Skywards, expressed enthusiasm, stating,
“We’re very pleased to be announcing a new partnership with Azul, the largest airline in Brazil. Skywards members can now rack up even more Miles while discovering hundreds of cities across Brazil and South America.”
