Under the agreement between Air India and IHG Hotels & Resorts, Air India Maharaja Club members will be able to earn reward points during stays at IHG Hotels & Resorts properties, while IHG One Rewards members will be able to convert their points into Maharaja points.
The partnership is expected to bring together IHG’s global portfolio of more than 7,100 hotels across over 100 countries and Air India’s network spanning India and five continents, offering members greater value, choice and flexibility throughout their travel experiences.
“India Is One Of IHG’s Most Important Growth Markets”
Sudeep Jain, General Manager, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “India continues to be one of IHG’s most important growth markets, and we remain focused on expanding our presence while building deeper and more meaningful connections with our guests. Our partnership with Air India brings together two leading travel brands to deliver greater value to our members throughout their journeys. This partnership also supports our ambition to grow our loyal customer base and increase preference for our hotels as we continue to expand our portfolio across the country.”
Air India Chief of Marketing, Loyalty and E-commerce Sunil Suresh said: “Maharaja Club is evolving alongside Air India’s transformation, and we are focused on delivering richer experiences for our members beyond the flight. Through our partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts, we are extending the program into another important part of the travel journey, making it easier for our members to enjoy loyalty benefits across a much broader range of travel experiences. As we continue to grow the Maharaja Club ecosystem, our vision is to make Maharaja points an increasingly valuable part of our members’ travel and lifestyle journeys, with opportunities to earn and redeem across the categories, markets and moments that matter most to our customers.”
