Emirates and Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras S.A (Azul) have recently enhanced their alliance. This collaboration marks a new phase in their partnership, where members of Emirates Skywards and TudoAzul, the frequent flyer programs of both airlines, now have the opportunity to earn and redeem miles across an expanded network of over 290 destinations worldwide.
Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards, shares his enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to partner with Azul, the largest airline in Brazil. Our Skywards members can now accumulate more Miles while exploring countless destinations across Brazil and South America.”
Conversely, Azul members are equally poised to benefit, accruing and redeeming miles on over 130 destinations in Emirates’ expansive network. “This marks the beginning of a rewarding partnership, unlocking incredible benefits for our frequent flyers,” adds Dr. Khedher.
Cristina Yoshida, Director of Loyalty Program & Ancillary Revenue at Azul, echoes this sentiment: “Our collaboration with Emirates, a brand synonymous with service excellence, signifies a significant step in our commitment to offering unforgettable experiences to our customers. It’s a leap forward in expanding Azul’s reach and enriching our loyalty program.”
A World of Rewards at Your Fingertips
For Emirates Skywards members, the journey on Azul’s network of over 150 destinations is now more rewarding. Members earn up to 1 Skywards Mile for every mile flown in Economy and up to 1.5 Miles in Business Class. Reward flights on Azul start from as low as 8,000 Miles for a one-way Economy ticket and 17,500 Miles for Business Class.
TudoAzul members aren’t left behind, as they can now earn miles across Emirates’ vast network covering six continents. They can also redeem their miles for flights in Emirates’ Economy and Business Class cabins*.
Emirates’ daily A380 service to Sao Paulo, featuring the much-acclaimed Premium Economy cabin, exemplifies its commitment to Brazil. Additionally, the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER service connects Dubai with Rio de Janeiro, extending to Buenos Aires.
The codeshare agreement facilitates smooth connections to and from various Brazilian cities, including Rio de Janeiro, Belem, Belo Horizonte, and more, linking these with Emirates flights from Sao Paulo to Dubai and beyond.
