Etihad Airways, the UAE’s national carrier, has recently established a partnership with e& UAE, the telecommunications branch of the e& technology enterprise, with an agreement focused on boosting customer engagement and cooperative efforts. This fresh collaboration seeks to merge loyalty schemes, share promotional activities, and promote tourism in Abu Dhabi by enhancing the city's appeal as a destination for both recreation and corporate travel.

Under this agreement, Etihad’s loyalty scheme, Etihad Guest, will be integrated with e& UAE’s Smiles program, allowing members from both networks to exchange points between them. This arrangement provides a versatile system that broadens choices for travelers, enabling them to redeem points more effectively for flights, services, or other perks. The partnership is designed to uplift customer satisfaction by providing new opportunities for earning and utilizing points, aiming to establish a smooth loyalty experience.

For travelers, this alliance opens up fresh possibilities, particularly for those planning a visit or stopover in Abu Dhabi. With the added adaptability in loyalty programs, visitors can take advantage of Etihad’s Stopover Initiative, which allows travelers to enjoy a stay in Abu Dhabi during layovers. This feature invites guests to explore the city’s cultural treasures, scenic beaches, and lively entertainment scene, making a brief stop in Abu Dhabi an attractive part of the journey.

Furthermore, the emphasis on Abu Dhabi’s prominence and appeal as a travel center is expected to add convenience for both regular and first-time visitors. Travelers can leverage rewards from both loyalty schemes to access special deals and promotions, enriching their experience in the UAE. This flexibility is especially useful for those who frequently visit the region or wish to make the most of their loyalty points while exploring.

Beyond loyalty and stopover offerings, the collaboration also includes support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by developing tailored options. This focus on SMEs is likely to benefit business travelers and the local business community, building a framework that aligns with the UAE’s goals for economic development.

In essence, this collaboration between Etihad and e& UAE brings increased value for travelers, providing more accessible ways to experience Abu Dhabi’s unique attractions. For international visitors, these enhanced loyalty options can make a stopover in the UAE more satisfying, encouraging them to discover the city’s distinctive sites and experiences.
