Qualifying JetBlue TrueBlue® and Etihad Guest
Members Able to Earn and Redeem Across Both Airlines Starting May

Agreement Further Supports Etihad’s Investment
in the U.S. Market following the Launch of New Service between Abu
Dhabi and Boston and the Introduction of the Airbus A380 to the New
York Route
JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU), New York's Hometown Airline®, and Etihad
Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, today
announced the addition of loyalty benefits starting May 8, 2024, as
part of its long-standing codeshare partnership. The agreement
between the two airlines was celebrated at Dubai’s Arabian Travel
Market today.
As part of the partnership, members of JetBlue’s TrueBlue
loyalty program and members of Etihad Guest, the loyalty program of
Etihad Airways, will now be able to earn and redeem points in the
program of their choice when flying across the network of either
airline.
“JetBlue has been an important partner for Etihad for almost a
decade and we’re thrilled to be extending this partnership to our
loyalty programmes, benefitting both of our airlines’ valued
members. We look forward to welcoming and rewarding TrueBlue
members,” said Mark Potter, managing director, Etihad Guest. “This
also further bolsters Etihad’s commitment to the U.S. market,
following the recent launch of our direct service connecting Abu
Dhabi and Boston, as well as introducing our popular A380 onto the
New York route, expanding capacity.”
“As a successful partner since 2014, we are excited to introduce
loyalty benefits as part of our codeshare partnership with Etihad,”
said Christopher Buckner, vice president of loyalty and
partnerships, JetBlue. “This partnership extension delivers both
JetBlue TrueBlue and Etihad Guest members more ways to earn and
redeem on travel, making exploring either airline’s network of top
global destinations even more rewarding.”
This partnership complements the respective programs’ portfolio
of redemption options with Etihad Guest miles redeemable against a
wide range of experiences from flights and worldwide hotel stays to
converting miles into a reward card for shopping. In addition, last
year JetBlue launched its new TrueBlue loyalty program, offering
members more value with the introduction of tiles to track status,
Perks You Pick®, expanded Mosaic levels for the airline’s most
loyal customers and more ways to earn perks and status than ever
before. Understanding that no two travellers are alike, TrueBlue
gives customers the ability to choose the rewards that are most
valuable to them and earn points whether they fly, buy, drive or
shop.
The customer loyalty offerings build on both airlines’ near
decade of partnership, which delivers access between New York and
Boston to Etihad’s global network of more than 70 destinations and
over 40 destinations across JetBlue’s network within the
Americas.
