Etihad Airways has extended its Business Connect scheme, its loyalty programme for businesses, to 11 new markets.
The scheme is now available to small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) located in Bahrain, Belarus, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Nepal, the Netherlands, Oman, the Philippines, Qatar and Thailand.
It was previously, and remains, available in 21 other countries including the UK, France, Germany, Australia and the US.
The mileage-earning programme allows SMEs to accumulate Etihad Guest Miles every time an employee takes a flight.
There are no blackout periods when redeeming miles against upgrades, free flights, or products from the Etihad Guest Reward Shop, and setting up a Business Connect account is free of charge.
