Abu Dhabi, UAE – April was a record month for Etihad Guest, the loyalty programme of Etihad Airways, as it collected an impressive haul of awards. The programme took top honours at four separate award ceremonies throughout the month.
It was recognised for the ‘Best Premium Islamic Card’ for its ADIB Etihad Guest Gold Card at the Banker Middle East Product Awards; ‘Best Frequent Flyer Programme’ at the Business Traveler Middle East Awards; the ‘Middle East’s Leading Airline Rewards Programme’ at the World Travel Awards, and the ‘Best Affinity Credit Card Middle East and Asia/Oceania’ for its ADCB Etihad Guest Above Credit Card at the prestigious Freddie Awards, held at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, USA.
This year’s Freddie’s awards received more than 4.2 million member votes for 233 loyalty programmes from around the world.
Yasser Al Yousuf, Managing Director of Etihad Guest, said: “It has been a great start to the year for Etihad Guest, and it is very satisfying to see our efforts being recognised internationally. We are continually trying to grow and improve our offering to make it more appealing for our members. In recent years Etihad Guest has expanded into a true ‘lifestyle programme’ by partnering with not only banks and hotels, but car rental companies, amusement parks, department stores, jewellers, car dealerships, medical centres and more.”
